Well, this confirmed what I suspected, i.e., my legs aren't in shape for two days of racing. Felt like I was putting in the effort, but couldn't keep up much of a pace. And only once, for a brief moment, did my HR even get as high as 90%. Mostly I was struggling to keep it above 85%. With one exception route choice was ok, but my brain kept wanting to go AWOL, so execution could have been cleaner. The one dopey route choice was where I misread a nasty pricker symbol on the map for the kinder, gentler undergrowth symbol, and so spent some time with Brer Rabbit in the briar patch. But otherwise ok, and the course was fun.

Red - Day 2 - Splits

DVOA A Meet, Fair Hills, MD. Nice meet, nice day. Felt fine running, navigation and route choice were mostly fine, only a couple of small bobbles. Kept HR between about 88% and 92% most of the time.

Sprint course, DVOA A meet, about an hour after finishing regular course. Was able to run harder than I thought I could, given how tired I felt after the regular course. No problems with navigation.

Red - Day1 - Splits

Event: DVOA A-Meet (Interscholastics)
 

Trail run, out back in Bald Rock and Limekiln Preserve areas. Not a great run--seemed like I couldn't breathe well the first couple of miles, like a mild asthma or something. Last couple of miles were fine.

Quick easy run after work, at Saugatuck Falls Natural Area.
