Jogging around, getting psyched. surprisingly stiff from the night-o, quads in particular.

Relay champs. Our 4pt team was Ian, Alex, Ali, and me. The others all had great runs, and Ali handed off with about 1:45 lead over DVOA, though I bobbled the first control a little, and thought maybe Wyatt would catch me right there. Settled in a little after that but pushed hard up the hills, still worrying that he would appear at any moment. I was also trying to be careful and not risk the lead. PG had warned us to pay particular attention to not skipping controls, which seemed more likely than mispunching since checking codes doesn't help with that. I navigated well, with only a few hesitations, and ended up extending the overall lead by 50s, for the big victory.

I think I had my shoes tied too tightly, because at some point it felt like I crunched my heel with the back of the shoe as I stepped on the back side of a ditch. I am used to sometimes having problems like that on uphills, but this one hurt a fair amount more than normal. I was able to shake it off and keep going with only minor pain (thanks adrenaline), though after finishing I immediately noticed it again.

went to cool down, but shoes were hurting my heel too much.
