Event: Blue Hills Traverse
 

11:00am - a good race (see splits) and was running in 4-6th place for most of the race, about a minute ahead of the pack until messing up #20 (about 90sec lost) and shortly thereafter running out of gas. Legs felt fine, no cramping etc, but just no energy to run on. The last 4 controls were at a slow jog, fast walk, but direct and exact on navigation.

Have been using baseplate the last three races since thumb compass got trashed at Boulder Dash - I think I tend to drift less with baseplate - will stick with that instead of getting a new thumb compass.

- Splits

6:15am - easy 2 miles with a fast 800m at the 1.25mile mark. HR stayed pretty steady at 135 (75%) with the exception of the 'sprint'. No warmup or cooldown today...

10:15am - 5km hard - level for first half, downhill on second half

5min Warmup, and then some hills / cooldown after 5km speed. - 5miles, 40 min total workout
