Mountain Bike (Pine Haven) 1:35:00 [3] 12.4 mi (7.8 mph)
Night ride with the group. First 30 minutes was actually a smaller group in the daylight and we started riding the two-tracks and they were killing me - especially on the hills. There were a ton of leaves down on the loose gravel and I just wasn't wanting to hit the downhills that hard, which meant I had to bust up all the hills.
Once we picked up the rest of the group and got on the single track, it was back to more the typical "group ride" with mixed abilities. It was a comfortable pace for me, but I wasn't bored. We did have lots of stops for random things (waiting for one person, trying to move an enormous tree off the trail, mechanicals...) Some quality stuff in there, but mostly just fun. Glad to have both my lights. Some people were just running one and one guy just rode in the middle and used others' lights. I don't know how he didn't fall. I hit a hidden root and fell once. It didn't seem like a big deal, but my knee was a bit hurting after we stopped. I think it's already starting to feel better so no big deal.

6 AM
Strength Training 1:00:00 [3]
10-min warm-up for "snatch day"
15 minutes to work on snatch balance at about 2 lifts/minute. Worked up to 75 lb. Having a hard time with the balance at 5:30 am.
Workout: 10 minutes
30 snatches at 43 lb
30 snatches at 63 lb
Would have continued to add weight, but ran out of time. Was debating going up to 75 for second round, but decided to be more cautious and not aggravate my shoulder.
