Started a minute behind Nevin, for the NA announcers cup, caught up to him on 8, and then it was head to head battle for the cup, he even tried to elbow me 2 with controls to go, but boogie man grabbed his leg and he stumbled, while I got clear shot to finish. It was fun. Lost less then 25 sec today, not bad.

trail run warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.8 km (6:15 / km)
slept:8.0 shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280

very short warm-up to the start

2 PM

◪ race (Long Red-X) 1:20:01 [4] **** 11.0 km (7:16 / km) +470m 6:00 / km
spiked:18/19c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280

30 m into the race I realized, that I do not ware contact lens, so very cautions tactics were implemented on this course: if I can not read the details, I just had to bring myself on compass into the center of the circle, and hope I can see the bag. That sort of worked, but the need to constantly stop and read the map added ~ from 30 to 60 sec per km. Otherwise, very clean execution, especially first half, long legs routs were not optimal, though. I started this course 30 minutes after everybody, so I had woods to myself, with occasional sightings of Blue runners. Green mapping was sub-par, contours are superb. Interesting course, some short legs are too short, in my opinion.

trail run warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.2 km (6:49 / km) +60m 6:00 / km
slept:4.5 weight:162lbs shoes: Inov8 OROC280 (2012)

2 PM

◪ race (Red X - Middle) 37:25 [5] **** 5.0 km (7:29 / km) +160m 6:27 / km
spiked:14/18c shoes: Inov8 OROC280 (2012)

Middle at Adams Creek : started conservative, trying to get the green mapping, that paid off, mostly clean up to 12, caught up to Florin (4 min), but navigation started to get sloppy ~ 2 errors on the way to 13 - total ~ 1 min, and on 13 did not read the map right - as a result attacked controls 3 times in the circle, small bubble on 14 ~ 15 sec. No one was clean on this green course. Map and course were excellent.
