To start.

Felt pretty good for the first half, then some serious mistakes in the middle of the course. Was able to efficiently relocate, but shouldn't have lost track of position in the first place.

Hamstring felt fine, including a near-blistering finish split.

C • blistering finish 4

Red - Splits

Team trials red. Nominally 8.6 km. Took it easy due to heat and last weeks hamstring pull. Kind of loped along. Felt and easy thru 11, then more like work to the end. Have to look at splits, but expect I slowed after that.

Good thru 6, then overshot 7 to the R, then ok to 11. Around trail to L to 12, messed around looking for the slot for that one. Same with 13, then running with Tom Strat thru the end.

Really flattened by the heat; doesn't do this kind of weather in the north.

Red - Splits

Event: US Team Trials for WOC '11
 

Picked up snow blower for tractor today. Just like the ones on Donner. Needs assembly. Better get to it, as it won't be long.

GMUHS down to Vt Country Store. Bridges are torn out, so traffic is less than usual. Makes the route better than ever. Mostly V1, with some V2 and and DP. Got timing on V1 in pretty good sych with harder leg thrust, see if it stays that way. Hot, but good workout. Even had the pole tips pointing in the right direction (most of the time).

Hamstring feels okay. Been rolling out the knot in the back of my leg. Don't have one of those foam roller things, so been using a chunk of 4" pvc pipe. Kind of firm, but only really hurt on day one.

C • pole tips 3

Very easy run to see if my leg could still function without knotting up the muscle pull. Seemed to work okay, but definitely put minimal strain on it. Will just lay low until the weekend.

Andover Rd as far as town line. Took it easy to preclude strain on hamstring. Legs got tired, but no sharp cramps.
