Sprint-2 Course at Camp Pinnacle. Ran "2" first. Call it a tempo effort, didn't want to wear myself out before tomorrow. Missed a couple of trail shortcuts, not being used to a 1:5 map. Used trails most of the time between controls, as they were plentiful and the woods seemed a bit on the slow side.

Sprint-1 at Camp Pinnacle. Didn't take much recovery time after the first course, since I wanted to hustle down to Smitty's in Voorheesville for the Sabres game (what a disappointment that was). I walked in several spots on this course, although I did try to pick it up a bit when Ross passed me, but I was not good on the downhill thru the brush running. Surprisingly, I seem to have finished one place higher on this course than on the other.

Sprint 1 - Splits

GTA - good turnout: Scott, Frank, Erik & Lawrence (both back from Bulgaria - I didn't get to stick around to hear some of the stories), JV, DV, Vinny, Jim O, Darren. Annual tour of the Lilac Festival site. Stayed with the group until we left the park, then I coasted, while they went back to 6:30 or so pace, to save something for the sprints and Goat this weekend.

I would not have made it out this AM, if the Sabres had lost last night.

Easy running during track practice - bike path loop and around the track while timing Marc's workout. He did the "4-minute mile" workout, running 4x400 in a total of 3:50 (54.2 on the first, 57.1 on the last).

River loop up to the GV Park ped bridge and back the other side. Waited until the T'storm passed to head to the Y. Quite windy for the run. Brooks Landing construction is still mostly destruction. But the Troup-Howell bridge reconstruction is winding down. It looks like the west side riverpath detour will be gone in the near future.

A little sore from yesterday's undocumented "strides" while actively watching the track races.

Some easy running during the track meet at Hilton. Most came during the delay while they held up the girls' relays to let the field events finish and see where the score stood. Schroeder just needed to win one relay, and took the 4x100 easily, then won the 4x400 with an outstanding last leg by the girl who had just won the triple jump.

Nate grabbed second in the 3200 - 11:21.

Chelsea had another fine run in the 800, passing one of the top HS runners in the country, Allison Sawyer, in the final stretch, to finish in 2:34 (Allison was coming off the 400 hurdles, but still...).

Took a day off for Chris. Didn't get home last night (this AM) until almost 2 after the Sabres devastating loss in 2OT.
