Spinning. Two laps.

Mills College in Oakland. Very pretty campus. It was a lot of fun to run here. Had levels, tunnels, walls, statues, everything. Really enjoyed both the spring and the 1 person relay. The only trouble is that I am slow. Poop. I didn't think I was running that slow but the splits don't lie. Nevertheless, great terrain, fun course, perfect weather, good friends = fun day. Fun weekend. My legs are tired.

Sprint Blue - Splits

Sprint Relay Variant I - Splits

Shell Ridge
Red course = 8.3k, 500m climb

Internal systems still off. Doesn't bother me running though.

Fun day. Still a lot of work and some climbs still required walking. But the long legs on the trails were manageable and allowed for a bit of scenery gazing. A very pretty place. I didn't really have any nav errors. Some slower legs but also some fast legs.

In the afternoon we wend over to Berkeley and the Berkeley pier. Watched people fly kites.

Long red - Splits

Event: Run Black Diamond
 

Red course middle at Team Trials
Black Diamond Mines
4.53k, 345m climb, 72:53

Very physical both in the climb and in the veg on the SW portion of the course. I enjoyed the nav. challenges but could have done with a bit less climb. I was whooped by the end with a nice headache, which I assume is due to sun and dehydration.

I missed C3 running only 2 lines high and ending up in rock line to the east. I was determined and so just kept climbing. Ouch. Almost made a 180 errorr out of 8; I think my brain was misfiring. I had some hesitations and pauses throughout but I'm not going to complain -- probably par.

Yesterday and continuing today my digestive system is on the fritz and my skin is sensitive (sort of like shingles but not so bad). Not sure if dinner at The Lot on Thu is the culprit or if it is stress related. Thu's board meeting wasn't exactly fun.

Middle Red - Splits

Easy ride with Sam.

At the lake on a nice day. Holy moly am I slow. Definitely feeling yesterday.
