Walking warm up/down 32:00 [1] 2.0 mi (16:00 / mi)
To and from Fresh Pond from Alewife
Note
Leg held up well, despite cold conditions (had stretch compression sock on), however not quite ready to go full out and sprint. However may do track next week and intervals at 5 k pace (say 4m/k)

CSU Park O. A few bobbles at start (1,2 and 5/6) and significant overshoot on 12. Suspect 2 mins lost. Raw windy conditions meant I didn't warm up till ab out #10.

FP day 3 and ran Red middle. OK run, no major problem although 4 mins squandered- with 2 mins on flat featureless leg 3-4 running off line to left this time. 4th best on day. Concentration lapses were a feature today- tired and calf a bit sore.

Nice morning- starting to wam up. Took a look at north side model area and horse trails

FP day 2 long- later start and getting quite warm. Not a good run largely due to 6 mins blown on a very short leg (missed #4 to right and then compounded error trying to relocate). Precise bearing and pace count would have minimized loss. Slowed down at end and walking hills as calf felt a bit "twitchy" . Otherwise 30sec on #3 and 2 mins on suboptimal route choice (20-22 min long leg, about 2.1 km, but must measure it, with lots of knarly reenetrants to avoid) to #8 = 8:30 lost. Winner 1:14:50.
Note
Pig long. Splits tell the story- ahead at 3, then dropped 6 mins on 4 (a 1:30 leg) and held steady/clawed my way back a couple of mins in last half. A couple of decent legs enroute. Concentration lapse- failed to read map and see root stock - misread black vegetation line as ditch which I couldnt find, then confused by reenetrants. Comedy of errors :-)

Beautiful day in Cincy - sun burnish in fact. Day 1 at turkey Ridge

Middle course- decent run with maybe 1:30 in errors (route choice drift east on way to 2 and confusion around 6, saddle, bobble to last) and another 1 ish for running speed. Stayed conservative and calf held up fine- got into map pretty well and anticipated. 1:01 ahead when I left and I think fastest on green. Will add comments later. Nice day to be out though.
