Knowland Park

Sprint at Knowlend Park. A 10 second hesitation at the start, adjusting to the map. And a 1 minute mistake on control #10.

Nice courses though. Very runnable and flat considering the steepness of terrain. Very technical, sometimes pushing the edge of the map's limits.

Rex's B-day.

Palo Alto Moonlight Run. 10km. Course

Kimberly talked me into doing this, and I'm glad she did. It was a very fun run, and tasty blueberry cake afterwards too. In addition to Kimberly and Grandpa, I saw a couple other BAOC runners there, as well as an OSU grad.

The run was very flat, out along the Bay. It was really nice running in the dark - you couldn't tell how badly you were being beaten ;-) I feel like I paced myself pretty well. I was able to target runners, catch up, and then draft to recover. My legs feel remarkably fresh afterwards, and I even beat somebody on the kick! Perhaps the pace is a little less stressful than the 5km, or perhaps the new ways I've been tinkering with my form are effective. But, my Vdot says I should be able to run this faster, so maybe I just ran slow. For my next 10 km, I will probably run slightly more aggressively.

Oh yeah, and I won a medal ;-) 3rd place in my age group.

A short loop on shasta-queens. Followed with some pace work.

Easy run

Merritt College Motala. Rex has produced another very nice little sprint map. I wish a few more fast runners had come out, it would have been really fun to race into the finish with Mikkel or Francois.

I took GPS tracks, and they lose a lot of accuracy when you are near a building.
