Amazing trail run up in the park with Paul and Alexis. Weather was perfect, and the woods were beautiful.

P7-Skyline-Franks-King mountain lookout-P7

Was vamped numerous times for the first 3/4. Managed to capture a fairly good control card at one point though, and was cruising along picking up the remaining controls. Passed Emily and Molly going the other way at one control, and on my next control I got vamped yet again. So instead of vamping someone in my proximity, I sprinted back for about 500m to where I figured Emily and Molly had gotten to, thinking that they probably had pretty good cards. Hid behind some bushes and tagged Emily on her way out from a control. Picked up a few more controls with my new card, but then realized I had missed one back where I had come from tagging Emily. Steathily made my way back to control 11 which was now swarming with vampires. As I approached the control, Emily shot out of some bushes, beaming the red laser in my direction from about 10m away. The next minute was the fastest I've sprinted in a long time trying to get away/ stay more than 5m ahead of her. I succesfully escaped, and after another minute of hiding out, I finally got in to control 11 . Examined the control card closely at that point and realized everything had been punched! Ran back to the finish slowly with my light off, and there was nobody else there when I got there. VICTORY! :P

Long and tough practice this morning.

5th ave and back. Warmish/ wet out.

Four 1.5min repeats

MMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSSSSS...suck.

NEW PB! First time under 15min!

Laps:

222
227
230
231
230
227

Don't know if i would do better if I went slower on the first lap. It's really hard to go slow on the first one when you feel so fresh. Very tired by the last lap but pushed through it.

Goal for the end of the fall is 14:30. I'm not sure if it's acheivable because I felt very good today. I'm sure I could beat it if I wore my light shoes, but since I want to fairly compare each evalautaion I don't want to wear them.

It's gonna be amazing! Be there!
