will have to wait until I get home to download hrm and merge gps logger track. but happy to report that ankle (+active ankle) seems to mostly work, better than I feared. running cautiously...not a bad thing in this tricky rocky terrain.

warmup along the road and a tiny bit in the forest on the warm-up map. first time actually running with the active ankle, it was less uncomfortable than I feared it would be, and it didn't seem to bother my heel either.

This went pretty well, I took it slow for my ankle, and had just a few smallish mistakes, in each case I basically arrived in the right spot but couldn't see the control. Otherwise I felt pretty good navigating. I mostly liked the terrain, though the map felt funny in a few places, maybe because of smallish contour features being generalized away. Only once towards the end did I step in a way that hurt my gimpy ankle, and it didn't feel worse after I was finished running...so definitely ok to try the long. Hardly an awesome result, but ok considering. I was glad that Boris didn't catch me from 4 minutes back, even if that would have helped.
