12 PM

road run warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.6 km (6:15 / km) +35m 5:38 / km
slept:6.0 shoes: Icebugs Spirit 2015

We got up at 6:30, in the dark, drove to Gainsvile, GA in somewhat foggy morning. Sunny at the start ~50+ F, can not complain about this middle of January racing weather.
Absolutely delighted to see Piaras, he looks the same just a touch older -M60+, spoke to Misha Shifman before warm-up and after the race, he is a tough cookie at his 78.
1 PM

race (Green-Y) 46:10 [4] *** 6.0 km (7:42 / km) +200m 6:36 / km
spiked:12/15c shoes: Icebugs Spirit 2015

nice and very clean execution for most part, hesitant on 1, just adjusting to the mapping, 8, 9 and 10 was a bad stretch, 8 a minute standing in the circle trying make sense of local mapping, should have being more aggressive, may saved ~ 40 sec on that. on my way to 9 ran into human junk in the woods, was super careful not to kill myself ~ 20 sec waited. # 10 was epic, had a perfect line to control and excellent execution, with one minor correction, there was an extra unmapped reentrant on my perfect line, as I figured out next day after my race when I visited that leg again. ~5 to 10 meters deep and ~150 meters long. So it made me start looking for a control earlier, ~ 3.5-4 minutes to recover. I was second guessing my map skills all evening long, it was a relief to find out it was not me :), at least not all just me. Pushed pace up hills rather nicely today.

Note

I can not believe I will be running with Pearas on a same course yet again, that bring some memories from my first Billygoat in 1993.
