Middle. Moderate pace allowing for altitude, felt good. First couple controls stopped early as I was using a borrowed compass and Greg had worn off all the markings. But it worked well and I got into the map. Used the general contours a lot as it is quite similar to Quantico land if you ignore the vegetation differences and that's where I learned.

Lots of controls on small boulders amongst others unmapped, but okay there. Then silly lone pine trees amidst lots of bigger ones. Those were bingo shots and frustrating. Bearing and pace count, then look around. Maybe lost 4 min spread over 4 controls.

Surprisingly, feet felt okay. Duct tape does wonders.

Green #2 - Splits

Ah yes, air travel is so much fun. Delta connection thru MSP with minimal connection time, and Delta used it all up before we left ALB. Landed in MSP with 10 min to go, and made the gate farthest away possible (thanks Delta, just like they do in Atlanta) with 2 min to go. "Sorry, door's closed, plane's gone", which means they gave away our seats to a standby. Scratch the Friday races.

Got to Tahoe Donner in time to run the motalla. Wore the same oshoes the ripped up my heels at West Point. Gee, same thing happened today. Skin on the heels is definitely over rated.

2 x 800; 3.58, 3.57
3 x 400; 1.48, 1.49, 1.44
2 x 200; .49, .47
Moderate effort on these. Rolling R hamstring regularly, but it still doesn't want to contribute much.

Felt good on the way out, but brake kept dragging a little on the way back.
Working on ankle flex, with still some weight on heel.
