at Harriman w/ Beth - group camp that served as staging area for last spring's Surebridge meet. Mostly walk w/ dogs, used harder parts of map - looks harder looking at map then looking at terrain which is full of definition as well as open. Concern re being locked in - wire was down, hid car, upon return, there were men working in the area so made car visible quickly so as to not get locked in - had thought that there was very little liklihood of seeing anyone at all at the gp camp..

Event: 30th Annual Billygoat Run
 

30th BG run, Clear lake nr Fahnstock SP. Spent the night camping at Pound Ridge (240 mi to Cross River) w/ Beth & dogs. Decent run w/ energy for most of way. Alot of following, unavoidable perhaps. Covered about 15k, measured length (13.05K, 500m) must include all controls but, of course, one was skipped. Wore running shoes which provided good protection but a bit slippery - there was more rain showering than I cared for. Fell hard once, hit head on rock on ground (a first), jammed thumb. Was with Pavlina B &' shadow' for several controls which was helpful - however, followed into a 2' mistake on way to 14 & then separated in the last 100m fm 19 which cost a minute & loss of contact - could have finished a minute to 90" sooner. Had just made contact w/ Glen T & David Onkst who were just 40 m ahead but capitalized in a contact fashion I did not in the final 2 controls.

The Goat - Splits

Drive to Ward Pound Ridge Res w/ crew - no run. Warm eve until late when got chilly - left rain cover off tent which allowed cold air to descend. Still, slept well. Were some deer snorting nearby.

at noon, only April shower for company, good temp , felt more energetic.
Had map of last year's Goat at Thatcher, ran alot of it alone. Stopped 3 times to read something on map.

lunch run w/ Diane, T & shorts, 65 deg, cut some corners than deciced I wasn't going to run home today - too many miles for legs right now, eg, find some energy in latter half of BG.

w/ Z&M after work, some power line hill running, a bit exertional at times, in shade(!)

after work fm NNH pkng lot, west on Pleasant, Silk Farm, Clinton.
Still tired. Mtg at noon.
