AM - 60 minutes incl. 5k xc race at Maudslay Park. The definition of a slog, but a compelling experience nonetheless. It became clear on the ride up that the NBPT area received as much snow as Maynard, and that this would make for atrocious footing. Warmup on the first mile or so of the course only confirmed this. At the start, it felt like I was post-holing for the first 100m or so. Kept the stride short, esp. on the hills, and was able to move up a few spots in the second half of the race. By the final ascent to the finish it was clear I had the old fart title in the bag, thought about relaxing a bit but kept it going through the line anyway. Quite tired at the finish but pleasantly so. Thankfully the wind wasn't nearly as bad as last year which made it much more tolerable weather-wise. Very easy cooldown on the road running past the park.
PM - 45 minutes incl. 10 minutes, 5x1 minute, Levittown. After a long afternoon nap, headed out for the back half of the daily double. Feeling a bit logy from the outset, right hammie somewhat pinched from the running on the snow in the morning. Soldiered on with the planned workout, although the first few minutes of the 10 minute rep were very restrained. Got through the rest of it okay.
