Event: WCOC - US Team Fundraiser B-Meet & Sprint
 

WCOC meet at Tarrywile, Red course. Good run. Felt a little stronger than I have recently (and there were lots of hills), getting back into a little regular training. Beatiful day, nice course by Sergei, fundraiser for the Team. Routes/comments for this course and the sprint.

Sprint course at Tarrywile. Feeling a little tired, but not as bad as I expected. Good course.

Sprint - Splits

Along the river to the town line (17:35) and back (16:44). A little quicker than I intended or expected.

Wtih Phil from Amethyst Brook over Mt. Orient and down to the first brook crossing. Struggling on the first long climb, legs (quads) sore/tired, working hard trying to keep up, which seemd to leave Phil quite delighted. Took a while to recover on the nice trail down to the brook. On the way back put in some effort to keep a decent pace on the way back up to the high point, then eased off coming down until at some point Phil said that we might not make it back in 30 minutes. That immediately forced him to surge ahead, which forced me to surge back, so the last 8 minutes or so were at pretty close to full speed. Ah, the foolish games we play. 35:30 out, 31:30 back.

Up to the power line (18:10) and back (13:26). A little easier/slower on the way up, meant I had to work a little harder coming back. Very wet, leaves really dropping and covering the rocks.

Over to South Sugarloaf, home is center of the map (15:12), up (9:30), back down (7:02), back home( 14:50). A struggle to run the whole way up, and in general a lot of work for a slow pace. But doing it is better than not doing it. One hill at a time....

Up to the power line (17:19) and back (13:49).
