Went straight to the Blue pillar and did well, but then tried new strategies that didn't work as well. Still made top half overall and age group; still the better of two at the Y. P:136; C:51.

Walking/Hiking warm up/down 16:00 [1] 1.0 mi (16:00 / mi)
Wanted to beat my PR so I tried to get a lead on my ghost and slowly open it up. Near the end, I made a half-hearted effort at breaking 12 minutes, but slacked off once I missed, probably costing myself two seconds. Top 5% overall; top 10% age group (missed top 5% by seven seconds); #1 all-time at the Y (out of 45), doubling my margin over #2 to 41 seconds. P:267; C:59

Wanted to break 15 minutes, but with a PR of 16:21, that was never really going to happen. Rode hard and I did make progress. This completes the third phase of my yearly challenge to ride all the courses; only the easy ones to go! Top 10% overall; top 15% age group; 3rd all-time at the Y (out of 33) - 36 seconds out of first. P:242; C:55
