Event: OCIN Flying Pig XXII
 

Flying Pig
Middle Blue
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park
4.6 km, 200 m climb

Went pretty well for me. Lots of small bobbles on the first 7 or so, but got cleaner and faster as I went and the second half I am really happy with.

Mistakes:
1 - took off down the wrong trail right from the start! Realized it pretty quickly and corrected.
2 & 3 & 4 inefficient route choice and some hesitation
6 - went over instead of around which was only marginally farther. Hill training has been paying off
7- Headed to 10, luckily it was right on the way, but may have gone more around the spur than over if I had realized

Kept glancing over my shoulder for Tom, who started 4 min behind me, but I stayed ahead :). Fun, very fast course. Felt more like a long sprint. Hill training has paid off and I was able to keep up a run almost the entire time.

Not overly successful, kept getting scared of falling and twisting my ankle before pig

Brought trail shows and planned to run the trail, but it rained all day and would have been a muddy mess. Stuck to the paved loop instead.

4x5 min at threshold with 3 min rest in btw
