Event: WCOC Brooksvale Park
 

Easy jogging at local's school track. So nice to have a good track nearby.

C • Finally found you! 3

Walking and attempting to jog a bit at Lewis Morris park while others were running the usual loop. Knee is better, but needs more time to heal up.

After some wrangling at work, bought the ticket. Will be arriving at Geneva on Friday in the afternoon, in time to make the long quali...

Really want to go out for a run today, but am dealing with a puffy R-knee which I banged against a rock after #7 at the middle. Will take a few extra days off till it calms down before returning to training.

TT - Middle. Felt surprisingly good in the morning despite a hard race the day before. Legs felt light and zippy. Plan was to race full speed right from the start. Missed #1 by ~ 30 sec as I ran right past and north of it. Stopped, figured out that I overran it and spotted the flag. A bit shaky to #2 by taking less than ideal exit from #1 following my compass and not really reading the map, but corrected in time to avoid a bigger mistake. Clean on #3 and #4 at full speed. Looked up ahead on the way to #4 to plan my next route. Never saw #5 on the map and proceeded downhill, left of the marsh to a trail around the hill, eventually climbing to #6. Careful and clean to #7 and then taking leftish route to #8. Spotted Wyatt, who started 3min in front of me right before the bag. Caught up to him at #9 and split away on the way to #10 by going to the left around a hill past smaller marsh. Clean to #10 and #11, but fumbled #12 as I didn't drop down enough and ended having to come down to the bag from far left. Had plenty of zip left in my legs, which resulted in tying Jordan in the battle for the finish split.
Really liked the course, did plenty of things right and a few things terribly wrong. Wish I had another shot at a similar course that day.
