Trail Run (Little Bennett) 1:40:00 [3] 8.25 mi (12:07 / mi)

Met Sarah for a run at Little Bennett before the O meet. I was unsure whether I was going to be able to go out on a course today or not, so a run was good. Mostly wide trail with about 2 miles on the road.
Comfortable temps at 8:30 am.
Running 8:00 [3] 0.8 mi (10:00 / mi)

Had met Sarah in the parking lot outside the park, and then left my keys with the meet personnel as I ran by in case additional controls were needed.
After finishing with Sarah, I ran from the parking lot back to the meet site to get my keys (an a ride back to my car.)

After everyone had started, I left the download in Graham's capable hands and went out on a course. It was now much warmer at 2:30 then it was at 8:30.
A good run except for not listening to myself going into #8. I always have problem in this area, and I even pulled back right away to sort myself out, but not enough and ended up with ~7 minutes in error here.
Took a spectacular fall just before #11 - downhill, rolling, wood, leaves, swearing. Calf is very stiff. Will see what tomorrow brings before I worry too much.
Thanks to Graham for manning download, and Sandy for assisting after he had to leave.
