Red Short course at the Flying Pig. Didn't kill myself with 3 more races coming up, and it showed with a mediocre time. Made a couple of poor decisions, but most of the lost time came from not pushing it when I could have.
Not a good pre-start execution. Nate, Zach and I all forgot our numbers, we realized about halfway thru the 1500m walk to the start, so I ran back and got them. Since I was going to have to hustle back to the start before Zach's start time, I took off my windbreaker (with my compass in the pocket) when I got back to the car. I realized about halfway to the start that I had no compass, but it was too late to go back again. Nate volunteered to give me his compass, since he rarely uses it while running his yellow courses, so I accepted.
Pat and Walt had very good races, and Zach was awesome in his second-ever solo course. I'll put much more effort, and focus, into the races tomorrow, and hopefully have better results.
Running warm up/down 24:00 [2] 2.77 mi (8:40 / mi)
w/up before the race, including the extra back and forth, and 10 minutes after the race, to try to get some of the crud out of my legs for tomorrow.
