Looking at the splits - I note that two of my best legs, as in overall 'place' on the leg, were the two where I elected to go wide to the trail - 5th best split on #5 and #11. Could have been even better but for my current lack of speed. I will note that at the Individual Long in NY in May, the folks who beat me on the long leg also went wide to the trail when I elected to carefully (and successfully) navigate the direct route. Will need to pay more attention to wide trail routes in the future. At first glance they certainly look to be quite a distance out of the way, but the difference in ground speed, plus generally a closer, solid attack point make even a really wide route around worth considering. I think I decide to soldier on the direct route too often and get into trouble because of it..

Trickier terrain today and knew going in that I wouldn't be able to run fast, so went slow & steady and looking ahead for likely trouble spots and electing wide trail routes instead on a few. Paid off as I managed to erase a 10 minute deficit to take home the gold in M50.

A fine, if surprising, end to the O season - which I never really had this year. Maybe a mini rogaine in a few weeks and hopefully RHINO, but that looks to be it for the season.

C • Nice job today! Maybe surpr... 6

Easy run after getting home to wind up this training cycle.
