Cleman Mountain Navigation race. I ran the 4-hr one with my dad and sister, and we managed to hit all but one of the controls we planned to. We had a couple minor mistakes (thinking it was 5m contour intervals instead of 10m, hitting a trail not where we intended) but we didn't have any major problems and overall it went really well.

Cleman Mountain Classic. I did the longer course, and the ground was rocky and uneven and hard to run on, but otherwise it went really well. I was sore from Friday's hill workout, so speed wasn't my main goal - the navigation was. I made a couple of mistakes, but nothing too bad.

The XC team "hills and gullies" workout. After a long warm up (2.5 miles), we did 4 long gradual hills, 5 steeper medium-length hills, and 6 extremely short extremely steep hills. The cool down was about 1.5 miles.

Road run with the XC team. We got to run past and cheer on the middle schoolers doing their annual 'Popsicle Run'.

XC race at Marymoor park. I was almost 1 minute slower than on Saturday, but I think that's more from sleep than the course - some other people had large PR's. The warm up and cool down were each about 1.5 miles.

Interval workout with the XC team. Ran about 2 miles for the warm up. The intervals were two 1000m, two 800m, and two 600m, with 1-2 minutes rest between intervals of the same distance and 5 minutes rest between the sets. The cool down was about 1 mile.
