| Warming up by jogging to the start. The question is, did I (a) have the discipline to do a proper warm up or (b) miss the bus? |

| Long M21 at Batona. I had a decent race - far from perfect, but not too terrible. I started a little easy with the idea that I'd have a bit extra left for the last 5 km. I think it worked well. I ran away (or navigated away?) from Hutch. That felt good. |

| running 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| Jogging to warm up, including taking a minute or two to look at the little bit of map we got in our packets. |

| M21 at Batona. Fun stuff, but I got really tired after about 30 minutes. Most of the run went well - decent concentration and moving ok. |

| The longer sprint course. I ran at a little bit below an honest effort. A little sloppy, but not too bad. I started a minute or two behind Anna. She boomed early and I passed her without seeing her. |

| I decided to run the shorter sprint race, too. I should have warmed up, but was a bit too lazy. That was dumb. I planned to start easy and keep an easy, steady pace. At the 2nd control I looked up and saw 3. As I headed toward 3, I thought, "I bet Anna ran fast on this stretch." That got me to speed up and I picked up the pace for most of the rest of the course (it helped to spot a couple of Walkers in the woods ahead of me).
Picking up the pace meant that I beat Anna. I was 2-0 against Anna for the day. So, I let her know about it (which is pretty sad, if you think about it). I'm probably a marked man, now. |

| Note | |
| |
| Travel day. I almost went for a short jog. |
Thursday Nov 9 |
| running 50:00 [2] | |
| |
| Jogging around at PNS - a good test of my new aerodynamic hair cut. |
| running 10:00 [4] | |
| |
| 3 x 3:20 old man intervals (with the pannlampa). I ran a little easier than usual, figuring that it'd be a little easier on my legs. |
Wednesday Nov 8 |
| cycling 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| The usual on the trainer. I fel a lot better today than I did yesterday. |
Tuesday Nov 7 |
| running 50:00 [2] | |
| |
| Slow jogging at PNS (with the pannlampa). I didn't really feel very good, not sure why. Maybe I'm just a bit worn out from not sleeping very well for a week or so. |
