mtn bike 39:08 [2] 5.28 mi (8.1 mph) +160m
Easy mtb around TD, checking out the summer's brush chopping. They've cleaned a huge swath of the front side of the mountain, and chipped it all nicely so the forest floor is soft and perfectly smooth. Should be skiable with about three inches of snow...
Also got three-way plane tickets for SML champs and Relay champs. I think that might actually be all the traveling I'm doing this fall. Probably not though.

Note
so if you count 365 days back from the end of woc, it looks like I have 2047 controls for the year. I wasn't really making a concerted effort to get a lot, just counting. 600 of those are ski-o (though not counting the figure-8 trainings, which would be another +1000 or so)

Home sweet home. I kindof missed it. Or at least its glorious lack of humidity and oxygen and heat. I figured the best way to get rid of this head cold that we all seemed to pick up at the end of france was to go out and run in the desert for a really long time. Especially since it was probably caused by dehydration anyway. Actually I needed to get a time check on my long courses, and today is the best day to do it since two months of traveling at sea level has me completely unacclimatized.
I also noticed today that I was doing a lot better at reading the vegetation here than I have in the past. Which seemed strange since I certainly haven't been running on any terrain/forest like this at all in the last two months. But maybe its from some other useful crossover skill coming through, like distance estimation or something.
Anyway, long course success. Its fun and long and the woods are awesome. Not the most technical stuff you ever did see, but its plenty fast and has its share of tricky bits. I made a few mistakes. And fell off a cliff. Just a little one though.

Then back out to check out some trails for the white course. Not the best.
