Ran easy at the Oven Door with Nate. He struggled a bit on the hills, but recovered near the end.

43, from the Blues - including a par on 9. Driver starting to come back around at the end.

GTA with Scott, Frank, Erik, Lawrence, JV and SV. Pace warmed up quickly, but didn't get extreme in the first section over to Elmwood and East (avg 6:54/mile), then we went thru Corbett's Glen and checked out the creek which was seriously hustling after yesterday's 3.3" of rain. I had to work to keep up with the herd thru the trails, otherwise the FDFs would have overwhelmed me. Then my legs, still hung over from Tuesday night's race started to whine. In from Penfield and Landing I averaged 7:06/mi, and dropped back about 45 seconds - most of that came in less than a mile when the pack picked it up along Highland.

46 - still no consistency off the tee, compounded by two awful approach shots.

Ran with Nate at Black Creek Park, after their brutal soccer game at Churchville. He ran with the only copy of the map that I could quickly dig up, so I just picked out easy destinations on the map so we could run around the park a bit.

BFLO Score-O at Chestnut Ridge

BFLO Score-O at Chestnut Ridge (set by Walt and Patty). Blew the second control that I went after, and lost enough time trapped in the scrub there, and climbing over the junk piles near C15, that I had to skip C18. I overran C19 a bit, expecting to hit the mapped open land, but it stayed rough open. Plus I was still recovering from the death-defying climb up the ravine that I refused to run around (next time I will). After that, it was very smooth sailing, and decent running pace most of the time, except C17, where I got distracted by a ROTC flag that I saw to my right as I was headed for what would have been a spike.

Tim got all of the controls (550 pts to my 480 and Rob's 470), just in time. Nate didn't have a watch, so ended up being 5+ minutes overtime, knocking his score from 340 (would have been 4th) to 110.

Nate and I arrived late, so I only had time to loosen the legs up slightly. Couldn't force myself out for a warm down.

East-Culver-Park right after swimming, so the pace was '2', but the effort was '3'. Tried to leave something in the legs for tomorrow night's score-o in Buffalo.

G - 6:59
C - 7:03
G - 8:12
Y - 7:55

After departing Marblehead, we parked at MIT and I got to get a bridge circuit in. It was a beautiful day to be along the Charles. Did BU-Science Museum in 46:48 (additional time was jogging over to the track for a lap before I started) - probably a little over 10 minutes slower than the last time I ran that route (in the fall of 1984). I'd say 2 minutes were because of today's heat, and I probably get 4 minutes or so on the age-grading tables, leaving 4 more minutes of just being out-of-shape.

The ladies from BU were out in full force on their little chunk of grass near the Storrow ped bridge that I use. They don't seem to age.
