Sun 10/12 - double, 45 minutes incl 5k xc race plus 90 minutes elliptigo

AM - 45 minutes incl. 5k cross race, my cross country season in fact. Realized soon after I arrived that signing up for an event that I'm also somewhat responsible for managing was maybe a bit of a reach. Warmup was curtailed somewhat, cooldown more so. The race itself was about what I would have expected given the recent flatness and the hilly course. Kept it somewhat restrained at the start, still feeling quite beat by the time I came down off the aqueduct, still able to line up and pass the guy who had passed me around halfway mark with just over 600m left. The pace was nothing to write home about at any point. Spent the cooldown picking up stakes and cones.

PM - 90 minutes elliptigo. The most logical option for more exercise. Meandering route up 117 to 126, then around Farrar/Oxbow to Water Row and then up and over Goodman's Hill before coming back via Fairbank and Longfellow. Longest session yet on the elliptigo. Found that posture has to be maintained or else the back can get sore. Still a good workout. Sandwiched in between this and the morning's race was a second round of lawnmowing, so a busy day in total.
