| spiked:21/23c shoes: Adidas Novas |
| Leg 1 of the 4pt relay. Again, had no energy. Started out following a bunch of cadets, but they took off after Emily Kemp at #4 and I never saw them again. Subsequently I was with Wyatt until #9, when he had a different fork and I decided to go check the control despite being sure it wasn't mine. By this point, totally exhausted, so I took a gu at the next control and now Jon Campbell had caught me. He got a little ahead of me on the long leg to 11, and then I was following him through the spectator controls. Then I made a stupid decision and tried to beat the obvious route to 17 by going around to the left. Turns out it was longer and steeper, so I really bombed out on that one. Need to resist the urge to make creative route choices when tired. Lost about a minute to Jon on that control. Nothing interesting after that. Nice course by Will, with excellent spectating.
Awesome runs by everyone in the CSU contingent, particularly Alex, Ross and Ian. |

| Felt incredibly tired from the get-go. Had a stomach cramp by the time I got to the flat part, so even that was slow. I guess I should start running earlier in the day or something. On the up side, it was clean. Not sure how I added 75m of climb to the optimal route. |

| Biking up to the Sheepfold. My watch died, so I'm not actually sure of the time. Haven't biked in a while, so the hills were a bit of a workout. |

| First event of the 2008 Boston Park Series, at Pine Hill North, set by Alexei. Was able to push pretty hard. Made a few mistakes, probably 2 minutes or so.
Katia and Giovanni's last event in the states before they move to the Netherlands. Will definitely miss having them around. |

| Feelin' some serious pain today. Damage from the fall not as bad as I had feared, probably will be back to normal in time for the relays. |
