Event: Billygoat 41
 

Several serious mistakes (3, 4, 8, 13, 15) and then hamstrings cramped up. Bailed to Burnt Mtn and jogged down the west side trail to the finish.

Billygoat - Splits

Fun small race of maybe 75 on excellent course. Rolled and stretched L hamstring, but it was touchy during the race and very sore afterwards. Salt bath last night, do it again tonight for the BG. For what it's worth Amby Burfoot showed up as a special guest runner and jogged the course with his wife.

Came back via Athens to see how the village is doing. No change except VT 35 is no longer a dirt road thru town. It used to come right up to the village limits paved with a yellow line even, and then turn into washboard dirt for a half mile before resuming asphalt. Now it's paved and yellow lined all the way thru. What's VT coming to? Next they'll raise the floating bridge in Brookfield and get VT 65 above water level.

Track this morning. Crystal clear, just below freezing, beautiful day. To track for quarters. First a warmup, then a good lap, but felt the hamstring half way around the second lap and decided that would be all.
2:13, 1:52
This week will be interesting with a 5K Saturday, the BG Sunday and Corporate Cup 5K next Thursday.

Planning on running intervals, but got to the HS and found a track meet in progress. So kept going and ended up running around Bluff Farm overlooking Lake Memphremagog.

Thought training was at 8:00 today, but discovered it was really at 10:00. So ran first.

Stretching before and after, easing on the hamstring which is generally doing well. Arms and core for strength work, not too hard today.
