Sprint 3 at Estabrook Woods with Presto! I'm not entirely sure what happened with my splits and stuff. My epunch seemed to be having an off day. There was actually a period of time during which the results say I took 1283 minutes on this sprint, but it looks like in the end, I was just eliminated from the results. Probably for the best ;-). My watch thinks I took 31:19, and since I know I started it and stopped it at the correct time and 31:19 seems a lot more possible than 1283, I'll go with it :-).

This was a lot of fun but definitely not clean. I didn't realize the map was 1:7500 and was massively confused about why it was taking me so long to get to number 1. I figured out the scale somewhere on the way to number 2, and then things were pretty clean until number 5, where I bounced around like an idiot peering into depressions for a while before stumbling on the correct one. Presto had a great time, although there were a few moments when SGB passed us at his usual blistering pace when Presto thought about abandoning me for a faster partner :-).

Sprint 1 with Presto at Estabrook Woods! I finished just at noon, rushed back to the registration, was severely chastised for failing to fill my little card thing in correctly, and headed back out to do Sprint 1. This was significantly cleaner than Sprint 3, but that's not saying a whole lot and I was also starting to get a bit tired. Still tons of fun, and Presto must have been a bit more tired as well because he was much happier to stay with me whenever SGB ran past :-).

Sprint 1/Orange - Splits

Running with Presto after lab! It was pretty warm and drizzling in a pleasant sort of way, so Presto and I headed out for a run. Presto was definitely on the lookout for rabbits, but sadly we didn't see any. I guess they got scared away by the storm. We have been seeing lots of rats that apparently were flooded out of their sewers or basements or wherever they normally hang out, though. Presto likes looking at rats, but he prefers rabbits :-). Then it was off to the Border Cafe! Yum!

Running with SGB and Presto at the Fells! We decided to go on a pre-hurricane run on the Reservoir Trail at the Fells. It was a bit windy and wet, but actually really nice running weather. The Fells were generally pretty empty of people except for one particularly huge group of people that we had to weave our way through. Presto had a great time running around sniffing things. Awesome day!
