Middle distance at brandiwine. Reasonably smooth, but in comparing splits after I see some problems (around 1.5 mins of mistakes). Almost made a parallel error, but caught myself (loosing around 30s there from hesitation/slowing). Also, made a bad choice across the powerline ending up in some very thick bushes.

Putting out controls for the Sprint at whistler village early in the morning, then biting my nails till some people finished the course with no problems/complaints.

Went for a run in the afternoon up towards garibaldi from chekamus lake. Got to where there was some snow and the trail was very wet... not quite alpine, then turned around. Nice soft trail!

Event: Barebones 2010
 

Long distance race at Lost lake - problems in the circle (not feeling much flow), and it was stinking hot so it was hard to motivate myself to push really hard.

Joined an interval clinic at the local running store, to have a group to do intervals with. Jerry Ziak is our coach, and he spent a lot of today talking about form (but in the future the workout might go a bit faster with less explaining). Started out with Jerry's limbering up exercises, warm up, and then silly walks (with some slightly different variations as per coaching).

10 times up a hill in the trails of Jericho park. Good to have people to keep the pace high. Focused on keeping good form, but sometimes it lapsed a bit near the end. We had a bit of a mixed group, so the rests got longer later, since we had to wait more.
