Running club. 3, 18, 3 mins. Was 2:5x on the first 3, then ran something like a sub-18min 5k in the 18 min one (was 17:3x at 3 mile), which is faster than 5:48 mile pace. So pretty quick. finished up with a 2:46 800 in the last 3 min rep. Can't complain about those times.

Commute, back to the salt mine.

warmup.

Rocky Mt. Goat. The day before during secret orienteering, my ham and right Achilles bugged me a bit and I was worried that I wasn't gong to be 100%, but all felt good before the start and my ankle felt the best by far since the catastrophic ankle failure some time (months now) back. Bought a new compass and clue sheet holder the day before, as a gift to myself for the hard work on the courses the day before, and was concerned about the old rule of thumb of not trying anything new on race day. But both proved to be very wise investments. It was a great course as usual, so another hat's off to Swampfox for providing such a great experience. 1, 2, and 3 were the only three that had traffic, and there was a lot of tactics with not letting people out of sight, even if you though they were slightly off (because, what if you were wrong and they were right?), but ran to 4 mostly alone as OB and others went further east, but joined OB again just before the stream crossing. Had a headache from 2 to 4, but the H2O at 4 solved that. After that, OB and I were back and forth, never more than 40m away, always choosing very similar routes. Kept really good contact with the map in all critical situations and was able to kick it in for the win, but really loosing to OB would have been fine given how we both ran clean.
