Brown course at US Sprint champs. Felt awkward and difficult to be running. Two errors of note. Couldn't find the fence opening leaving 7. Annoying particularly because I had just come through it. So around the long way, cost about a minute. Then at the last control I saw people who appeared to be punching through the trees and ran to them. They were instead taking pictures of the people punching the real control 25 meters back. Oops. But otherwise kept moving and it was not so bad. Got tied up pretty good waiting around after.

From Pleasant Valley. After a bit my old friend Mr. Owl caught up to me, and at age 72 he can still hammer. Uncharacteristically, he fell in with me and we chatted for about 6 or 7 miles until I started getting a lot of text messages and sent him on his way. (Rhonda is up in Maine riding 50 miles with Cindy, and by the time of my ride, on her way home again). Then near the top of Sandy Brook, there he was coming back again, so I turned around and rode back with him. Nice to see him after quite a while. He and I were such good friends 25 years ago, riding and running. So this was all a lot faster and more strenuous than I had envisioned, if a bit shorter.
5 PM
Note
I took the tractor down the trail to deal with some pointy rocks, one of which had upended and injured our esteemed friend walk this summer. Shame on me for not dealing with these things earlier. Two of the three popped up easily, The third was more of a project, definitely iceberg like, and plenty of other rocks came up in the process, so it turned into quite a large hole before I could start burying things again. Then, when I was cleaning up, my skill is not adequate to the task, so a little shovel and rake work, which ended up hurting my side (the vulnerable QL again). Feeling pretty ouchy after all this, but a session on my new roller did me a lot of good and got a nasty knot out of my L glute. Pretty satisfactory, I think.

Trying out my new bike at West Htfd Reservoir, the old Brainard map. Zack and I are getting new bikes. I grasp why he needs one, but one thing led to another and he talked me into getting one too. Very nice, but I think I am past the kind of aggressive riding I may have done 25 or 30 years ago. Rode some fairly rocky single track, but after a while that was enough, so did most of this on the wider roads. No close calls. Zack is away anyway, and his is still at the shop getting a few modifications.
I used to know this place like the proverbial back of my hand, but I suppose the back of my hand has changed some, too. Some things I remember well, some not so much, and of course a lot has changed. Big logging operation 15 years or so ago, some new trails, some roads now paved, some formerly paved restored to gravel, etc.
