Charles river loop with Lori. 4x30 strides. Contemplated the submarine component of the US Navy, its function, and the general role and purpose of the military.

Run from Alewife to the Park O at Menotomy Rocks Park. I was uncomfortably carrying my backpack.

A CSU Park-O at Menotomy Rocks Park, organized by Nikolai. The distance is a rough estimate based on my route. I was not displeased with my performance - Brendan finished in 17:08, Ross in 17:20 - but I made a few errors that could have been avoided. It was good practice, and my running was strong for almost all of the course.

After my days off (Tuesday inadvertent) recovering from the Middle Distance champs, today's activity felt pretty good. After the sprint, I ran about one kilometer picking up controls.

There was a funny episode with Ross trying to put on some of Lori's infinitesimal running shorts. Mark Webb proudly sported the garb of the Swedish National team.

What I suppose is reassuring is that I made my biggest navigational error while picking up controls - I ran up a shallow reentrant and did not pay sufficient attention to my compass to note my error promptly.

Might as well log it: picking up controls.
