First part of Highlander IX. Dropped out due to a mild ankle sprain. Hope to be better by this week-end's US Champs.

Highlander - Splits

Highlander Sprint - Semifinal. Did not run all out and felt pretty tired, making a couple of careless errors. Made the final in 3rd place, behind Leif and Greg.

Highlander Sprint, Final. Started 4th, ran hard from the beginning and felt tired at first, but hit a couple of controls and picked it up. Coming out of 3rd, saw Sergei who started 3 minutes ahead and ran hard on trails to catch up by the time we hit 4. Eddie was there too, and we ran together the rest of the way, navigating fairly well through the very technical area near the end of the course. I made a mistake on 9, but got to 10 with Eddie and to the finish ahead of him. 1st place, just 20 seconds faster than Leif.

Warm-ups and picking up controls after the sprints. Feeling very tired but excited before the Highlander tomorrow.

Warm-up, long cool-down, jogging between repeats.

Fast-paced hill repeats in Central Park with XC guys. Only did 7, felt pretty tired after little sleep the last two nights.

Running with the XC guys at the Reservoir. Felt beaten up from this week-end.....Bruises everywhere.
