| Birkie Trail Run Marathon Relay--3 person team |
| Trail Running race 43:20 [5]5.9 mi (7:20 / mi) vdot: 44.4 | |
| shoes: Vasque Spur |
| 2nd leg of Birkie Trail Run relay. Timber Trail to Boedecker Road. This includes the high point at the Seeley Fire Tower and a long climb right before the end. Got passed by 3 guys who were way faster. Passed 4 people. Felt strong. Only had to walk the very last steep part of the Boedecker hill. |
| Trail Running race 28:00 [5]3.91 mi (7:09 / mi) vdot: 44.6 | |
| shoes: Vasque Spur |
| 5th leg of relay. A little tough getting going. Passed two people in the first 500 meters, then felt good for a while, then just trying to maintain pace. Wasn't sure I was doing it. Caught one more person just before the handoff, but she was able to sprint just ahead.
What a fun event. After the age handicap we came in third in the 3 person relay. The weather was perfect and the colors were spectacular. |

| Couldn't get on the water with the novices, so we erged. I could have gotten 30 minutes in, but I actually needed to coach some. |

| BLAH! When did I begin to think that I knew how to navigate? Messed up control 1. Then got in a groove, then blew by a trail junction and spent the next 30 minutes trying to get back on the map. Finally figured it out and finished the course.
One thing that really stuck with me and actually took away some of the enjoyment of the day.
Every single person I saw (15 or so) wanted to talk about where we were. That was when they looked up from the posted trail map with the "you are here" sign. One guy actually got mad at me when I said "I'm not on the map," but did not want his help to relocate. He said well "there's one up there then" and pointed up into the trees. Worst part about it, they probably all beat me.
