Event: MNOC - Adventure Run #2
 

Adventure Run #2 at Tierney's. Same deal as last week - road run to the park and #1 at high speed, only gearjunkie stayed with me. Did pretty well 1-8 and totally blew #9 - a nine minute split let the front of the pack catch up, and mobizmoluv passed me. Bailed out to the trail and attacked #9 three times, found it the third time a couple of seconds after Ian. Chased him to #10, where we saw Tom, then #11, where I punched first but took a bad line out to the trail 50 meters behind Ian. However, the mile-long run back favored younger legs, so I passed at the base of the hill on Highwood and ended about a minute ahead of him and two behind the dynamic duo.

Event: MNOC - Pillsbury State Forest
 

Minnegoat at Pillsbury. Good run, but a bit hectic at the beginning. The pack exploded at #9 - Justin gained a couple minutes on me there, and stretched it to about 7 minutes by the end. Didn't see anyone else for the whole rest of the race. Ian and Jerritt came in a little while after, but within seconds of each other.

1 hour night score-O. Feeling tired and not concentrating well. Ran with a pack at first, then with Ian and Jerritt for a while. Fell at least 10 times, and found out later my headlamp was slowly failing. Lots of little things conspired for a sucky performance (external factors were by no means all of it, they just didn't help.)

I'm counting these because it was at night and raining steadily so I had to take my glasses off. That was an interesting change of perception.
