Fair Hill Rogaine, 6 hours limit
Angelica & I did pretty well, planning a loop with several contingencies to have options at the end, skipping 3 controls at 3.5 hours to gives us more time for later, and Angelica really pushing us on the 2nd half which was just enough for us to reach out to # 91, which moved us from 5th overall, to 2nd overall, behind just Jonathan Campbell and a cadet (Jordan?)
I think it was Angelica's first time ever beating Eddie...
Felt much better after than the VF Marathon - I think the heat kept us slow rather than muscle fatigue, plus I ran with Angelica (although that didn't make things as easy as I'd expected as she was in front on me, pushing the pace for 90% of the course...)
I just noticed I'm seriously deficient in Sprint points, and have zero nearby opportunities to improve that before the Finals. After doing unusually well (for me) in the past few Sprint Finals, it'll be disappointing if I have a really poor showing. I wonder if I can get DVOA to make a Sprint?

Running with the kids - both on bikes now. WIth AJ to Wilson Park, then around Wilson park and back home with both kids - 2 miles or so of riding for Oriana who's learning fast :)

4x1200, 4:26, 4:19, 4:20, 4:16. Led group 1 at Fast Tracks on 2nd and 4th. Good day. Really zoned out on the last one - right time of dusk for me to do that.
Had an Indian buffet lunch, and the mix of lung exhaustion & heartburn was distracting from the normal lung exhaustion only process.

Long run in new shoes = blisters...
I did find a new trail section I hadn't seen before in the Southern part of Valley Creek preserve, which made the run >90 minutes.
Did 9 of the intended 10 hours last week - first over 7 hour week since the knee injury so not bad. This is now a 6 hour week nominally, although I'll exceed that badly on Sunday at the 6-hr Rogaine. Doing it with Angelica which should, to a small extent, keep me from over doing it...
