Pt. Pinole. O in the Oaks. Extended Middle. Brown, 3.9 km, 40m climb (advertised as 60). Start at 10:42. Sunny and cool, ground is very wet. 1st on Brown, 1:12 ahead of Walter, Johanna Karras not far behind that. Next were Gary C and Chuck at 40:xx.
Felt physically ready. Pushed hard, but tired out at places (maybe trudging through wet grass and standing water has something to do with that. Good job of keeping up the tempo. Mostly navigated very well, not getting overly concerned with details. One strange error: was off to the left on #7, caught myself quickly, figured I'd lost maybe :25, but turned out Walter was :55 faster - can't account for the additional :30 loss.
