Return to Colmbia Bottom. Easy ride with Fran on gravel, then pavement.

Easy trail run out with Fran. Legs tired from Sat. and ride.

3-minute break; then nice pace on return - finally found a good rhythm.

Pick up controls after Kirkwood night 'O. Did not run due to runs Fri and Sat AM - helped Dave with results. Good turnout again. Eric found 25 controls in 25:44 - impressive!

C • weak excuse 1

Chassing Anna. No, John, I'm not her stalker.

Caught start, 2-mile split (only 2 hills on course), and finish of very nice run by Anna - PR and 2nd only to teammate Ali.

Great trail run at Columbia Bottoms - lots of birds, 2 groups of deer. Earlier run was an excellent warm-up. 23:50 out; long break talking to RK runner and family; 24:20 in. Feeling tired, was pleased to drop only 30 seconds on return.

Almost 2-mile figure 8 of FVCC. Very hilly - always a nice challenge. humid

Four 40-43 second 200's; with walking in between. First 'speed' work in years. Felt good, but wasn't sure if I could hold that pace for 400m - like in the 'good old days'.

C • i'll be a pacer for you if you... 3
