warmup, control retrieval.

Chatfield, red course. A very nice day to be out running around.
Chatfield is a place that can either be a piece of cake or a pain, it was more on the side of being a pain this time. It is a pain because there's always multiple stream crossings (and the beavers always make deep water in areas not marked on the map), a mess of trails in thick woods, or you have to cross thick wooded areas. Overall things were fine with two mistakes, first on number two, taking a bearing took me to the wrong tree (upon control retrieval my bearing still pointed to the tree I went to, so go figure). The second mistake was on 12, I cut to the control too early and got caught in some thick swampy crap. In the end the mistakes didn't mater fortunately and ran well otherwise. Still a fun course despite my grumblings above.

Running club. 4x4:40 handicap runs. Real times were 4:42, 43, 35, 33, 33. Felt fine, didn't overly push it due to the traveling induced hiatus. MK said that the pace was around 5:40 pace.
