| BAOC Briones event. My goal was to run slow and steady, as fast as my spleen and liver would allow, and to keep more map contact than I usually would in a racewhy waste all that extra time. Also, tried to be more proactive than usual, but scrapped that half-way (see race comments). No compass.
I was surprised to catch up with Mikkel who started 5 minutes ahead of me. The liver pain was tolerable, almost non-existent on the uphills. I went almost at race pace for the uphills, but had to taper it down greatly on the downhills, even walking some of them. |

| Mikkel did 6×1000, at a pace I would have been perfectly happy with myself at this point in the spring. Mark and Tapio, 5× (Mark, at pretty much the same pace as Mikkel, except for a low-3:20s first one). I did... 2×: 3:40 3:52. The first one went fine. On the second one, about a lap into it, my liver felt like a gigantic cumbersome inflated organ that it is, and pushed on the ribcage. This ended the session. |
