Long tough Valley Goat this year, with some rugged hillsides that offered good route choice. Had a bit of sloppiness, and a few good decisions and a few bad. Nothing terrible. Managed to hang-with, and, for about 10 minutes in the middle, lead the top-3 pack of myself, John F & Vadim, so good physically.
After retying shoes at ~2/3 of the way, I never made up lost ground (25 seconds?) on Vadim, but managed not to lose much either until a route choice (to a slick muddy trail) and slow attack near the end (:30 lost). Overall a good race, but I'm definitely slower than John F - every once in a while (e.g. when he got behind due to route choice, or care not to push too hard on a hill) he turned on the gas, and had a good 5-10% speed advantage over Vadim & I.
