Event: Old Tucson Trail Run
8 AM
Run / Hike race 33:35 [3] 3.72 mi (9:02 / mi) +103ft 8:48 / mi
slept:6.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2019)
Woke up at 5:30 am, picked up Cristina, and then headed over Gates Pass to Old Tucson Studios. Luckily we arrived early before a huge bathroom line formed, because my stomach was very unhappy. It settled down a little, but was on the verge of revolting for most of the race. :-\
The race was fun -- one lap around the "town", then out onto the singletrack trails and another lap through town. I got caught behind slower people on the singletrack a few times, but I don't think my stomach issues would have really allowed me to go much faster.
Cristina finished several minutes before me (2nd in her AG!). We grabbed our post-race breakfast burritos, took a photo with a gunfighter / cowboy, and then headed to Catalina State Park!

SWSW -- Day 2 -- Javelina Hustle goat course (short) at Catalina State Park.
I had big plans to do the Long course...but I didn't want to make anyone wait for me (since I was starting an hour later than everyone else), and I was also pretty tired. The Short course was plenty. :-P
I was not as clean and accurate today: I bobbled #3 & #5 (we had the choise of skipping wither #2 or #3). I went too far across the ridge near #10 and then picked my way VERY slowly down the reentrant to find it. And I miscounted ridges and stopped one too soon when looking for #13. I forgot about my second skip until I was almost finished, so I skipped #11, which didn't accomplish much distance- or time-wise. I also spent lots of time taking photos again. :-D
But, the weather was nice and it was fun.
