Event: Hudson Highlander XVI
 

Another highlander come and gone. I thought I was in better shape, but everything--legs, feet, lungs, etc.--were hurting. Mostly walked the last half to third (after train run). Navigation, surprisingly, was the strong point. After running with a crowd through the first couple controls, went off on my own with good success (except #8, where I lost about 10 minutes). Several times, I noticed I gained an advantage on some people by taking better routes.
Shoes worked pretty well. No significant blisters, and with just plain inserts (gray ones) felt they weren't unacceptably sloppy.
Scramble was C D E G
(distance is estimated)

Around the block. Walked the hill section just to get some walking training (as I expect to be doing more of that than running at the highlander). Achilles still sore.
