Event: 30th Annual Billygoat Run
 

Billygoat at Clear Lake Scout Reservation. About 50F with some light sprinkles. Course was 13.05 km with 500+ m climb and 22 controls. Rocks, hills, and mountain laurel. Nice course by Joe M. with a very challenging skip choice decision. Course was a bit long (104 min winning time) with no skip options offering big time savings.

A good run but lost time on 6 controls, mostly due to relying too heavily on others to navigate. Probably lost about 10 minutes total. Ran most of the way with Dave Onkst, who was moving just fast enough to push me, and tied with him for 32nd place overall (one of my highest BG finishes ever). Only cramped once when I tripped going from 18 to 19, but the cramp was short-lived. Still going strong at the end as we were able to pass three people between #20 and the finish. Skipped #12, saving about 300meters of distance and five contours of climb. Forerunner said I went 16.83 km.

EMPO Local event - Moreau SP

EMPO local event at Moreau Lake SP. Did the 5k Green rather than the 8k Red course to save a little something for the Billygoat tomorrow. Fairly good run with a one minute parallel error and another 1 -2 minute loss in an area where the map is a bit flaky. Very nice day, 60's and sunny - and a bonus since the prediction was for 50 and a chance of showers. Still some patches of snow in the woods! Forerunner measured 6.8km.

Road intervals. 5 x 600m (0.37mi) @ 6:45 pace with 2:00 recovery. Splits: 232, 231, 229, 231, 230. Nice day - upper 50's and mostly sunny.

Good to get out. Traveling the last two days kept me from exercising (other than carrying stuff around airports).
