Much less walking today (and I combined, so most of this is cool-down).

Green X course

Started running gingerly, but ankle felt more "weak" than "painful" for most of the race. Was dying on the way to #3 when Kean Williams caught me - although he started 2 minutes ahead of me. We both caught Pete Bundschuh near #4, but then Pete and I went high to #5 and Kean went low(?!) and we lost him. Pete slowly opened up on me and I lost contact early on the way to #8. Near #8, Kean caught me again and beat me to it as I drifted right. Kean caught me again at #10 and we went parallel to #11, but I missed left and he opened up. In the end, he crossed the finish line 46 seconds ahead of me. Once again, not a bad race considering all factors, but I was last in my age group. Oh well, now I have a goal for next weekend.

Sunday - Green X - Splits

To/From registration, shelter, and start. Over 3 km with climb.

Green X course.

Caught Mike Lyons at #1 (he started 4 minutes earlier) and shook him at #3. Misread the clue description and gave it all back at #4 (30 second error). Left him behind at #5. Bobbled #9 and lost lots of time in crap during the first half of 9-10, but also bobble #10. Sprained ankle fairly thoroughly most of the way to #12 and limped much of the rest of the way. Not a bad run considering my lack of conditioning and the fact that the last time I searched for controls "on the clock" was in November 2015!

Saturday - Green X - Splits

Moody Ambush course. Flirted with my ghost for the first 1/4 mile and then realized that the season record for my Y was only twelve seconds off my PR. Pushed harder and it began to pay off. Ultimately improved PR by 37 seconds. Top 10% overall; top 15% age group. Improved to second all time at the Y (from third), but am still 44 seconds off the pace (to the guy who is only sometimes here...) P: 223; C:59.

Just some body weight stuff at the end...

Ironhorse course. Flirted with my ghost for the first minute, then pulled away to set only time on course for this season. New PR. Top 10% overall; top 15% age group. Moved from 3rd to 2nd all time at the Y - off by sixteen seconds. P:222; C:60.
