Event: OCIN - TROL #5 Harbin Park
 

Green Course at Harbin Park, set by orunner.

Nice course. Longer than I wanted, but the Brown had zero big gully crossings, and I was in the mood for big gully crossings. Started a bit cold, and quickly found I was too warm, so I dropped off my jacket on the way to 8 (?). Clean orienteering, but so slow up the hills. Dinner at La Pinata afterwards with a group.

Your Highness (0): It was hard to give the zero to this one. It's a very high budget quasi-stoner flick that is set in a knights and kings era with some LOTR-type vistas and magic thrown in. I can't believe I'm saying this, because I like juvenile humor as much as the next guy, but this movie just crosses some lines. It might end up being liked as a cult favorite, but not by me. (I will say Danny McBride plays this perfectly.)

Event: ICO Eagle Creek West Score-O
 

20 minutes on the bike trainer at the gym. Felt good---was pushing hard but my HR didn't get too high.

8 lengths of the pool. Did 60 sec recoveries for the first 4 lengths, then had to drop to 90 seconds. My 8th length was a total mess. My HR felt fine, and my arms actually felt pretty good, but I just couldn't coordinate the motions---I lost rhythm 3 times on the last length, and decided doing more was going to encourage poor technique. Definitely getting better.

Gave some stranded motorists a jump start.

Watched 127 Hours. The deleted scenes and alternate ending were good---the alternate ending especially. My niece thought it helped explain the story---she wasn't sure he made it with the original ending (I thought it was obvious, but this is an interesting finding.)

Cycling at the gym. 20 minutes on the normal bike, then 10 on the recumbent with wattmeter. Managed 160 for 3 or 4 minutes, then dropped to 125 for the remainder of the ten.

The last 10 minutes really took it out of me.
