Long at West Point. A good race for me. Love the easy visibility and running speed. Will showed up and had a solid run too, he was losing time on shoe tying, but making it up by choosing better routes and executing them well too.

Not a good race. Started out sloppy, and never calmed down enough to get into the groove. Especially bad mistake on the way to 9. Never let up the pace but head not screwed on tight enough.

Sprint went a lot better. Little bobbles but much happier overall. Great event and just so nice to see so many friends and to have such a competitive M-21 category.
Baked some pumpkin bread in the morning to bring to work for a going away party. From past experience I have learned that pumpkin bread doesn't react well to being in a backpack running to work. So I shuttled it in. Then by the end of the day I was feeling like the shuttle home was a good choice too, if only to keep reading my book :) Rest day!

Park-o, set by Larry. A really fun format, mass start, three loop, one man relay. I had a couple of mistakes and Brendan bested me tonight. Shows you that you have to stay focused even on a simple map.
