Event: Senior Team USA Trials
 

Didn't realize until afterward how many distracting thoughts were running through my head during this race. "That was my window!" "I wonder what happened to so-and-so" "The last time I went up these steps, I had just graduated." Then I did exactly what Gail reminded me not to do before the start ... "I know where that is!" ... but of course I was totally ignoring the map, the lake, and the new building that used to be a field (on which was the control ...). Ah well, it was a fun tour of the campus. A four minute mistake on a sprint is absurd, but otherwise it was a good run. And so fun. Saw my college XC and track coach, too, so all around a good day!

Warm up and then control collecting afterward. Knee cranky, too much pavement. Also blister forming, which I will ignore.

35 minutes, faster than usual training pace, but not quite Tempo pace. Only had a little time before heading to an evening work thing ...

Guessing at the time. Could remember when we started. With Wendy. Felt pretty good. Knee only hurt at the very end.

2 mile walk with family. No cardio at all - but my knees noticed it.

Water was cloudy, a little scary. Ended up doing mostly kicks.
