I ran easy through the training course (plus one control that I added) in the Northern training area. I did most of it with Nat, Alex, Alec, and David, taking turns leading.
I took a brisk warm-up run to the start of the first race of the Flying Pig, a middle distance. My legs felt pretty good.

I ran the Friday middle distance race at the Flying Pig, running strongly for the first six controls, then feeling tired and having to slow noticably for the rest of the race. Technically, I felt a bit rusty and not as smooth or confident as I could be, but I essentially navigated well and was satisfied with my race.
