| DVOA Return to the Watergap. Ran fine but slow until Control 8, where Wyatt, who started almost 6 minutes after, caught up. I promptly picked up speed, made a boom, and then another boom, this time together with Wyatt. Ran my ass out on the monster uphill and afterwards, losing Wyatt by a minute or so. Had novocaine and such stuff coming out of the system; drank just about everywhere, and felt about to throw up continuously after the monster hill. Did throw up at the finish. |

| Running with weights 55:17 [2]11 km (5:02 / km) +46m 4:55 / km | |
| |
| From work to the doctor's office at El Camino and Sylvan in Mt. View. |
| Note | |
| |
| The doctor removed two salivary gland tumors (looked like about 4 mm and 3 mm). The first one showed up sometime between the US Champs and the Highlander; I noticed the second one last Saturday. The surgeon was fairly certain they were benign, the pathology is due next week.
I feel just fine for running, and probably will as if nothing had happened. |

| A BAOC event at Montebello and Skyline Ridge. Felt like crap because of the heat; it was 94 F = 34 oC recorded in Portola Valley at the time I finished. Had to forego a second course, which had been planned as a part of a TLT or something like a TLT.
There was a Misha sighting. The event director got hit by a motorcycle (will probably live). Not sure if the two events are related. |
