Warmup.

Badger Day 2 Red on Devils Lake (BGR 1:10). Navigated well (except for one bad route choice on a long leg that costed me about 3 minutes and a couple small errors) but really had trouble moving fast on the wet rocks. Finished second again, but this time Mark spanked me by 13 minutes. ST=617.

Good courses, good map, good terrain. All added up to a great weekend. Proof that you can put on a fine A-meet with a tiny staff as long as you focus on what's important. Congrats Kevin.

Here's a no-name athlete product endorsement: Wal-itin D (Walgreen's generic for Claritin). I can tell that I'm still sick, but it really didn't mess me up at all over the weekend. Amazing stuff.

Red 2 - Splits

Warmup.

The Badger Day 1 Red at Devils Lake (BGR 1:10). Very rocky terrain. Good run considering how unfamiliar I am with this type of terrain. Took safe routes to avoid big booms. Had several small mistakes for about 5 minutes total error. Second on Red to Mark Voit by 2 seconds. ST=601.

Red 1 - Splits

Easy jog round West Baraboo to loosen up after the 6-hour car ride.

Head cold coming on. Doctor thinks it's viral so I'll just have to fight it off myself.

Over to Forest Park for 2 laps of the He Man Big Ring Loop (modestly manly splits of 6:46 and 6:38 with 4 minutes recovery).

It turns out that the loop is absurdly dangerous in the evenings during softball season. I just about got run over 3 or 4 times. I guess I'll have to move this workout to the mornings.

Easy jog round the hood. Legs are still dead from last weekend.
