QOC: Mekeldin, Red course. Headache in the morning so slept in and did not go to the race until late. Dropped down to Red since I was tired from yesterday and it was late.
Ran (and walked) cautiously and tried to keep a good pace and navigate clean and avoid the bad route choices that often occur when I run here. Probably made the worst choice right from the start when I elected to go straight and up and down thru the climb instead of the road around. Any energy I might have had was used up there. Was in 2nd at control 14 but then got careless and missed 15 to lose 8 minutes and a bunch of places. Splits have been posted.
Played disc golf with Ted and Dave O afterwards. At least that practice is showing some results. Ted still won but 1/2 way around I was still close. Playing every hole as par 4, I finished 18 over. Ted around 11 over, Dave over 25.
