Long course at CTOC Gold Rush. This was a disappointment. One easily avoidable mistake (a 180 error) took me out of contention. There was only one place I was able to get some speed going, taking the road and trail from 4 to 5, and on that leg I had the fastest split, but not by much. It turned out that cutting any of the corners slowed you down. 4th place, but a bronze in the U.S. Champs.

Brown long - Splits

CTOC Gold Rush Sprint. The first leg wasn't so good -- I need to figure out how to get my head in the game before the start. Then a good series, running well, looking ahead. Things started to fall apart around 10 and 11, and I couldn't remember which building was which and whether I'd made this or that turn yet. Then got it back together for a great run to 12, and on in. First in M65, but Dennis was a few seconds faster with a good run on Brown.

Hill repeats. 6xhills @30s, about 1/3 of the way into a 4-mile run. Once a week, 4 weeks in a row so far.

2 laps on the trail loop at Wheaton Park at around noon.
