Round Mt. red course, 8km straight line. It was a good run. I ran a bit conservative to protect the Achilles, i.e. ran a bit flat footed and had no discomfort. #1 I was right next to the right boulder and didn't see it so had to loop around, going to 6 I couldn't see the fence and thought maybe it wasn't there and was concerned about going on to the private property, but eventually saw the fence corner. Going to 10 this guy came out of nowhere (I think I passed him going to 9 but he decided to start hammering) and passed me. I figured either he'll die (if he started behind me) given he was clearly maxed out, or he's phenomenal and I shouldn't worry about him for that reason either. I think ignoring him was a good move as I did pass him back going to 11 and never saw him again (splits will be interesting to see). 13-15 I could not keep a compass line for some reason, was really lucky to see 15 as I wasn't sure where I was exactly, the rock features didn't look right (on control pick up looked at the area again and it still didn't make sense). Going to 17 got off bearing again. Fun course, but we avoided the really challenging rocks in the south.
