Strider group run at 9am. But clear and cold meant I couldn't really afford to wait before heading in to work, so went to the park early and ran my loop, meeting up with the 9am crowd for the group photo (and a couple muffins, courtesy of Denise) then headed off to work. Decent run, easy warmup on singletrack along Rt85, then picked up the pace to race pace, or as near as I could maintain it for the balance of the run. Low angle sunlight made it difficult to see the trail surface in some areas, but no trips or falls.
