warmup

Day-O at Buena Vista. Felt really suggish and a bit sore from the day before. Splits on the first 3-4 controls were pretty slow. O-ed pretty well, except #7, got pushed too low and had to relocate, tried hard not to make any mistakes but I was tired which affected my route choice (should have just gone to the hill top), there was enough detail that it was possible to identify features wrong easily which caused the error. Oh well, that gave the win to Craig, who always runs more cleanly that me usually. See links from Saturday for results.

Control retrieval. #51 was in the wrong place (first control on green), it was placed on a boulder about 150 meters too far east from where it was placed on the map. The boulder in a shallow re-enterant indicated on the map for the control doesn't exist, just a small rocky area.

I'm really surprised I didn't get my HR higher, could be the elevation and fatigue not allowing that (didn't wear the HR strap in the race, worried it would be a distraction).

warmup

Night-O at Buena Vista. A fine run. Started out very cautious, wasn't even convinced I was headed the right direction off the start, but slowly pick up pace. #7 threw me, as I was sure I was in the right place, bailed to relocate and caught it reflected through the tree way off to the south. The next morning I kept thinking about it and started to think that it must have been in the wrong place, at the start of day two, I was informed that it was indeed in the wrong place. Fun just the same and the ~9300' elevation is kind of a killer.

commute

Lawn mowing sucks, only logged half the time it took.

Parked at the end and headed west along the Poudre trail. Wicked headwind heading west, flew on the way back cutting off 10 min from turn around point.

warmupcooldown

Running club. Descending ladder from 6min. Mile split was 5:53 on the first one, so a bit slow, but pace gradually increased on each one after. The 1 min. last one went to 400m, was 75 sec, so a good pace.
