| The course was billed as 6.3, but that was before #12 was taken out. Nevertheless, my length seems a couple hundred metres shorter than I'd've expected. Also, maybe I lost count while I was adding up climb. Didn't feel like 5%, although I was definitely feeling it by the end, but that was more due to yesterday than to there being a lot of climb.
Once again, I my plan was to pick easy route choices and run hard in the easy sections but slow down as much as necessary in the detailed areas. I only really got confused once, and even then I wasn't really lost. Looking back to last year's Boulder Dash on the same map, my min/k time was considerably faster today, though the course was considerably shorter.
Pretty nice race. Too bad everyone else is at the Sprint finals.
Quad felt ok during the run, but is a little sore afterwards. It felt great last night. I was all ready to call up the med center and schedule an appointment last week, when all of a sudden it started feeling better, but I think I will really go see someone about it. It was just a bit too sore this afternoon. |

| NEOC's NOD event at Great Brook Farm. Mostly trail running with short interludes of detailed navigation. The detailed stuff mostly consisted of 200m legs, though, so it was a matter of slowing down and being careful. It's difficult to read the contour details on the map at speed, anyway. They could have put a lot more in the technical area, but I think the map may be a bit shady there. Had a route choice error, a very brief 180, and some small hesitations. Definitely stopped 5 ft from a couple of controls without seeing them, which cost me a couple minutes total. Need to work on reading inside the circle more. |

| A trail run afterwards with Vanessa. Probably more like a 2.5 effort - a little faster than my normal E/L pace. Time and distance are just a guess.
Quad feels ok, I don't think soccer helped it out much. |

| My quad actually didn't hurt much yesterday afternoon, and felt pretty good again this morning. About a week ago, I stopped my stretching routine, because I felt like it wasn't helping, and some of the stretches didn't feel good. Maybe I was overstretching the ligament? Incidentally, on Sunday I picked up the mail that had been going to Bexley over the summer and read an article in ONA about overstretching while doing yoga, so maybe I'm just imagining that the stretching was irritating my leg. |
