Tucson Goat. Not a great run, with some bad judgement. One was using my sunglasses with readers. Should of used clear ones.
But the weather was not hot, low 70's maybe. Windy too.
This was in the grasslands type area with little cactus. Footing was rocky under the high grass, so could never get moving fast.
This was skip one control, which since I drifted bad on no3, relocated and found 4, I just decided to move on. That was another mistake.
Lots of grassy Spurs to climb and was just tired and losing concentration. Overall good hill workout for the California meet middle of next month.
Overall GPS said I covered 14.5 k

C • Tired 7

Madnaess style run. Mass start, some of the best woods Chicago has to offer.
Great visibility, steep and slippery gullies.
I could of skipped 3 controls, but have to get ready for the Arizona and the heat..
This was of one course training runs that was set by Mr Naess himself.

So you know it was gonna be good.

C • Madness style run 3

Event: Southwest Spring Week
 

Birkie no 27 complete. It was 37 degrees the whole time.
The trail was actually still good shape and still fairly fast.
I started easy and was strong at the end.
I eliminated all my mistakes from last year, so this was enjoyable the whole time... Even climbing the hills. My skis were fast onthe downhills.
I did get tripped right at the beginning, so I then waited a minute to start on the chip timing.
Overall great day!!

C • Strong finish; great race! 6

Sunny and fresh snow at McMiller, maybe for the last time skiing here this year.
Last ski before the Birkie...hope its not a slush fest.
