Warmup. Not as good as I would have liked - I started jogging to the start and was almost there when I realized I had forgot to tape my shoelaces. By the time I got back to the car and taped them I didn't have time to run back so Nadim drove me up there.

Pig Day 3 at Templeton Creek (OCIN 1:10). Fairly easy navigation with lots of viable trail routes. Woods weren't as thick as the previous 2 days. Also, the earlier start meant the heat wasn't so bad. All added up to a day for running fast. Was pretty clean until #13 when I dropped 3 minutes on a boom. Still managed best M40 time to pass Dan on combined time. Tom Carr got by both of us to take best time on Red by about a minute.

All in all a fun meet, Friday's "Juniper Groves" notwithstanding. ST=588.

Red Day 2 - Splits

Warmup.

Pig Day 2 Red at Garr Hill North (OCIN 1:10). OK run marred by one really stupid boom. About 5 minutes total error. 2nd M40 to Dan Menehan. It was pretty hot and I slowed down in the last couple K. ST=574.

Red Day 1 - Splits

Longish warmup after a rather bad night sleeping in the van.

Pig Sprint at Woodland Trails (MVOC 1:10). Terrible map. Absurd that this would be allowed in an A-meet. I think this meet would have been thrown out on protest a few years back. Sadly, the tolerance for this kind of crap is growing. Somebody needs to stop the madness and take a stand that OCAD + GPS <> mapping. ST = 561.

Red - Splits

New PR for cutting the lawn!

Warmup/down.

Short course at Babler (printed at 1:10 to practice for the Pig). 8 minute K's at Babler! I'll be happy if I can run that pace at the Pig. ST=548.

Easy jog round the hood.
