Running 15:00 [2]
shoes: Orange Sauconys
Today I mostly rested. I would have enjoyed the Vampire-O, but the drive is long. It was a good choice because I was reasonably productive applying to jobs. I did do a few quick jogs just to keep the legs limber. And I had a big pasta dinner with a lot of fluids.
Tomorrow is the big day! Mac forest 15K. This is where I see how much my trail running has improved. Lofgren and Lederer are both signed up, so I've got a target to beat. I'm gonna have to put up the best race I can. This will be a good one!

Ran with the RC through Avery and downtown. The pace was fast and the weather cold. They all went to the golfcourse, but I was lazy and jogged back early.

Running 45:00 [3]

Run up Mulkey Creek trail with Andy, Tim, and Larry. It was really pretty out, with the leaves on the ground. The run felt really nice too - fast and fun, but not too hard.

Headed out to avery park for an easy run. Met some running project guys and jogged around the park with them. On the way back I did 4 accelerators to develop form. Did a little situps and streching at Dixon too.

Biking 10:00 [3]
Was busy today, and my blue toe needs a chance to rest, but I did make an extra trip of Witham Hill on my bike, pushing the pace pretty nicely too.

O in the Oaks III Day 2
Map at Routegadget
This day was much better for me! I had a really fun time. The course setting was marginally less steep and shorter, but that made all the difference.
Because I knew what was in store I wasn't afraid to push the pace. I ran up everything, and only rarely slowed. Map reading was much much better, I stayed in good contact, and mistakes were much smaller.
I did lose focus briefly when I saw what I think was a bobcat. A couple controls later I saw a coyote. Very cool. Things like that are what make running so awesome.
The Gookin article in ONA has made me consider hydration. After Saturday's race I was definatly dehydrated, and I spent all afternoon feeling thirsty. As a result I drank water, ice tea, orange juice, and a 32 ounce gatorade. Could this explain my edge on Sunday???
