US Ultralong Champs at the Flying Pig (Hueston Woods)
After a poor miss on C1, I mostly settled down for at least a reasonable performance, until I ran out of gas on the last few controls. My continued cold certainly limited by aerobic capacity, but much of the issue was hitting the woods after a winter of roads and treadmills. To be ready for West Point, I will have to get into the woods - at least there is, theoretically, time to do so.
Luke developed blisters after 3 controls and was unable to run, which is his strength, so he was out for over an hour. I should have checked his feet after wearing the O shoes yesterday.
After the race had a long coughing fit that was near puke level several times.
Running warm up/down 8:30 [2] 1.0 mi (8:30 / mi)
The jog to the start - Clem caught me so I picked it up a bit to chat.
