Friday: West Side Story (Corn Stock Theater, on Bradley’s campus)
Saturday: am: Steamboat with Tracy. pm: 5-0 Chiefs victory with Barbara and Tracy (2 Chiefs home runs)
Sunday: 10 mile walk; got soaked. 2:43. Out and back spur, 2 mile loop, 1.1 mile loop; then “Modified Barbara” with the final 2.6 miles in pouring rain; streets were streams.
I did try the Chiefs game but gave up after rain delays. It started almost 2 hours late, and they won again 3-1.
After the Steamboat 4: deadlifts with the 4 inch bar: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 244, 10 x 265
Steamboat: well, Tracy and I did Steamboat. She warned me that she was not as fast as last year, and it was very hot and humid. I wondered about her effort level; perhaps I should have told her to slow down. I was concerned that she skipped the water station at mile 1.
Well, by mile 3 she was hurting and had to sit down in the shade. We had been averaging 16:15, and that was too fast for her under these conditions. She rested; I went ahead to the aid station and brought her 2 cups of water. She drank it and went on to finish in 1:12:48. The final mile took almost 23 minutes, with the stop.
She had recovered enough to make it to the car, and carry her first place in the Women’s 80 and up.
