Whitehorse, Yukon long.
Moderately thick one forest with glacial depressions and easy grades. Lost time on first control, careful, but not enough attention to fine contours. Okay after that with a couple minutes on each of two circles, reversed contour profile and looked wrong way. Stopped and figured out problem and found control right away.
15th out of 50 something in class.
Taper week. Some shorter runs, maybe some speed; easy strength work. Catch up from fun last week.

Cool morning after a rest day, so decided to hit the Chester loop. Too bad the cooler temp made it super humid and my glasses fogged as soon as I got off the downhill onto the flats. Very sweaty. Okay run, but could feel the harder asphalt surface and camber of the road. Harder on the knees than trail runs.
