Event: NEOC: Mount Misery
 

Event: "O" in the Pines A meet
 

Less than optimal sleep, not so much worrying about what still needed to be done (though I went to bed thinking about items I needed to remember in the morning...remembered all but the spare camera batteries so no pics from me). Will charge batteries tonight (and hope to get a bit more sleep).

On my feet from 8-5; brought a chair but I don't think I sat for more than a minute.

So happy we had decent weather! Tomorrow looks to be even better.

Stretchy bands for extra torture; right hip/glute tight again so didn't stay for anything else.

Need to print quick-reference sheets, apply labels, and stuff packets!

Aerobics and weights plus warm up, abs, and cool down stretching. Less tight in the hip/glute than on Monday.

Another day with weights.

Very, very stiff this morning with a tight right hip/butt and sore shoulder (I think from when I fell) and bruised knee (top of tibia, below the kneecap area, thankfully). So I threw some extra spinal twist stretches and did other things gently. Feel slightly better now. :-)

Back to work on A meet registrar stuff!!!

Event: NEOC: Townsend State Forest
 

Green course at Townsend State Forest, NEOC local meet. SL 5.1 km Gorgeous sunny day, with temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, topping out at 70F.

Well, for the controls I did well, I enjoyed the course. I was off to one side or another onto controls, one I'm not sure is mapped correctly (hunters stand seemed to be in much more green than mapped, but we'll see), and one was thrown out because it was hung wrong. I even tried to "think like the setter" --trying to figure out how he approached-- and looked around the area at other boulders, but I guess didn't widen my circle quite enough. ;-) That was probably my longest search; I was helped at 4 and 6 seeing Phil B going to them, and at 5 I hit another control a couple reentrants west (parallel error; miscounted reentrants/streams) of where I was supposed to be, and corrected from where I thought it might be. (Turns out it was #5 on the Red course, which then did a loop N before rejoining the Green course at my 5.) #7 was the missing control which I eventually bailed out of. Fine on the others.

Fell hard on my right knee (again?! but a different spot this time) before number 5, and took my time getting up, then fell again later but it was a more gentle fall. That's what I get for trying to run in junky woods with no knee-lifting training; I caught the right shoe on a root both times.

No matter; it's always good to spend time in the woods.

Track later. Added FR track, which is missing some of the leg from 4-5; I think it might have stopped when I fell... But it beeps to warn me of going into power save mode, when I restart it. Anyway, about 5 minutes was missing so that must be the leeway time the watch gives before power saving. Adjusted time (to match download) and distance.

Back and forth between parking and start because there was no 'clear' box at the start and we hadn't cleared SI sticks at registration....
