9/19/16

Sun 9/11 - double, 60 minutes incl. 5k race, 40 minutes elliptigo and 15 minutes in Lake Cochituate

AM - 60 minutes incl. 5k. Another early wakeup call, this time heading into the city and on the ferry to Peddocks Island. Had enough time to run the loop we then ran in the race twice. Dripping with sweat as the humidity was ridiculous even if the temperature wasn't sky high. Threatening clouds let loose 3 minutes into the race with a cloudburst that at the very least cooled things off. Very windy as well. These things, plus a twisty windy two-loop course that I seriously doubt was actually 5k, made for an exceedingly slow time. Not that I cared. Cooldown was a leisurely extended affair checking out the rest of the island before being hustled back to shore.

PM - 40 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Lake Cochituate. After spending a chunk of the afternoon hacking weeds and downed trees, took a roundabout route to the lake on the dork bike and went aquajogging in some of the choppiest waters I can remember dealing with. The wind scoured out most of the gross sticky air from the morning leaving a much nicer if turbulent afteroon.
