Between the assembly area and the restrooms, then to the start. Cool and breezy. Took a model map for the jog to the start - helped to get my head into it.

WCOC Classic Distance Green, advertised as 5.5 km, 6.02 per Garmin. So by the Garmin, I was under 10 min/km.

Pretty pleased overall. A few minor bobbles, could have been better just before the circle, but only a few seconds here and there. Going over a couple of the route choices with others later - might have been some that were faster or less risky, but mostly acceptable. Second on the course to Bill Pullman.

Green Day 2: Long - Splits

Event: WCOC / US Team A-Meet/WRE
 

Under threatening skies. Nice model map of the area leading to the start.

WCOC Middle Distance, advertised as 3.2 km, 3.94 distance travelled per Garmin.

Threatening weather, and the skies opened just as I started. Had talked to Charlie DeWeese earlier, who had had problems with his glasses fogging up earlier. Caused me some issues, between water on my glasses and some fogging at inopportune times.
Ok on 1 & 2, then bobbled 3, thought I was to the right, but had wandered left / downhill. Recovered off the lower trail where it hit the trickle, had to get back up to it. Screwed up 4 royally - beelining and miscounted stonewalls crossed. Rough compass and distance took me to another rockface with a knoll behind it, but the knoll was more of a spur, with no rock face on the other side. Saw the signs for the out of bounds area, which pulled me up - relocated off that and a trail, had to go back 150 meters.
Ok after that, but was pissed and not real focused. Should have been around 30 min.

Green X Day 1: Middle - Splits

Road run from the Hilton Garden in Warwick. Stomache not real great, but knew I needed to get out and do something.

Exercise bike at the hotel - raining pretty good with some thunder rumbling, so wimped out and stayed inside.

Trail run at Ahern. Found some new mtn bike trails that I need to add to the map.
