Hot... Damn Hot....
But the families up in NH on vacation, so lacking any other excuses, I headed over to Wickham for the final of the summer XC series. Drained 2 20oz bottles with Nuun electrolytes before the start and started toward the back of the pack - far enough back that I couldn't hear the guy talking before the gun went off. Stayed on the grass along the road sections where possible and tried to run as evenly paced as possible - no real landmarks so pretty much ignored the watch. Crossed the line in 57th place surprised to see my time of 1635 - I certainly didn't feel faster than the other night in Bolton, but who knows...
EDIT:
Results show me 58th of 163, my time of 16:35 correct - sweet.... (8th M40-49, Brett Stoeffler 12th overall in 13:50, fastest M40 - way beyond my league though)
Forecast to be damn hot again tomorrow - not sure what I'll do - but probably go to Forest Park on Wednesday...
