The Mega. Went out at 7:45am and had the woods to myself for the first 100 or so controls. Then the speedy guys that started at 9am caught me and I saw a dozen or so people until about #180 when suddenly I had lots of company. Wonder if I would have gone faster if there had been people around me from the beginning. Only bobbled about 3 controls to the point where I had to stop and think where I was (instead of knowing I was too far left or too far right or not remembering if I was looking for the boulder or the re-entrant). Judged how much water to carry just right - ran out at #190. I figured I could do it in 6 hours so was very happy. Have to thank Spike for that - for some reason when he came trotting by me in the woods and said hello it inspired me to pick up my pace by quite a bit. Thanks JJ; it was a blast.

Event: 2005 Sprint Series Finals
 

Hanging controls for the sprint finals. Hung the final course in order which was fun since then I knew how the course went.

Ankle more sore than I would like so two more days off.

Took yesterday off and today as well. Will try some hiking tomorrow...

Ankle surprisingly sore, swollen and stiff. Didn't think it was that bad yesterday but even just walking was uncomfortable today.
