warmup

Blue course at Rocky Mt. State Games at Fox Run. It was the new map, which wasn't obvious to me until I compared it to the old map. The new map is a huge improvement. Ran quite well, got pushed too far off south going to 11 and had to work hard to get back on track, by that time I was well east of where I wanted to be, not a huge problem though as foot speed was high, but that leg tired me and by the last few I was really taxed. This led to some inefficient route choices on some of the last controls. 8.1 km straight line. Looks like I got the all course champion, surprising. I was hoping Viking would show to give me a run for my money.

Blue - Splits

Easy ride out the eastern part of town.

Did the standard loop anti-clockwise. Pushed the pace the whole way.

cooldown

Running club. Got late there so they were half done, I did the last two on my own. 2.5, 10, 2.5, 10 min. Paces were 5:51, 58, 23, 54. Struggled with the speed, could not turn it over.

One of these days I'll get the road bike up and running again. 28th over to 23rd, F street to dog park, then Poudre to Learning center, 83rd to 4th, back on 28th. T-storm chased me from halfway to back, got light rain in the last 5 min.

Very tired today from traveling. Did a quick run around Glenmere Pk.
