Sat 9/15 - double, 2 hours total plus 16 minutes in Walden

AM - 75 minutes incl. Maynard road race. The joys of doing an event that starts a block from my doorstep, never gets old. I vastly overestimated the potential threat posed by the nearest competition, as a result blew through the first mile much faster than necessary. Before the race I came up with the brilliant idea of turning the second half of the race into a 30 second surge/float exercise, thinking this would keep me from overdoing it. While I did indeed do the 30 second thing it was in hindsight more exhausting than simply cruising it in which is what I should have done. Some twinging in high right hammie in the last mile could also be ascribed to the surging. Course a little shorter than last year's version, not that it matters. Warmup and cooldown both about a 30 minute easy jog in the edges of Area 51. Plagued by stomach issues while warming up which required repeated trips to the bathroom, to a disturbing degree in fact. Sunny and pleasant morning, not as humid as yesterday.

PM - 45 minutes very easy plus 16 minutes in Walden. Took the direct route to the boat ramp, starting from the commuter lot unlike yesterday. Very low key effort after the race in the morning, with another race coming up very soon. Cool and dry evening.
