Long easy ride, some dirt towards end. Temp was 90 at finish. Quit mostly because I was out of water and was getting hungry, more than was tired out.

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.
