Orienteering race (race) 2:06:12 [4] *** 20.4 km (6:11 / km)
14.8k+700m, BH traverse. running with or within sight of william most of the way until he dusted me at the end and then I went the wrong way. my knees hurt quite a bit now from the downhill pounding.

on the river, concentrating on good running form. home just in time to see a pushing and trash-talking confrontation between some ghetto-children in the middle of my street; one on rollerblades, the other waving an 8" kitchen knife. ahh, central square.

felt pretty comfortable (coordinated) running this pace.
super windy today, getting blown into the river. didn't notice the foot bruise at all, I think its all good now. starting to get into winter-training mode (more more more!), the next target events aren't until late spring. I got a fatty check today for doing that island map; sweet.

just a little bit
Note
there has been some outside speculation on the composition of a csu team at this year's relay champs. unfortunately our big-point runners all have academic conflicts that weekend. so I'm saving my kroner to go to spring cup (and other events) during spring break instead. incidentally, there is also a relay there.
