I love it when I can still get within 1 second of my record, makes all the running worth it. Today was just solid - started out with a 5:39 into the wind and slightly uphill, then got a 6:10 on the mile with the monster hill in it, then another 5:39 on the downhill into the finish. I guess that last mile could have been faster, but I really laid it out there so I can't complain. On to Drop 13! 10th OA, 2nd mast

I went in to this one only a week from the silliness of last Saturday, where 19 miles in the sun was on the menu. I had hoped I was recovered completely but my calves were a little stiff so not so much. Walter showed up, so it was real this time. First mile - I took off like usual, hearing the patter of feet close behind, so I held nothing back. 4:40 first mile. Felt pretty fast but last year was 4:37 so I could tell things were a little mushy. The upper flats went quickly in the mid 5s, but then the steep part where I should have been in the high 4s was in the low 5s and my calves were screaming. I just couldn't make proper use of the downhill but niether could Walter so even at two minutes slower than last year I still beat him by a little over a quarter mile. The top three in this one were all masters even with a field of almost 1000 so old guys rule again :)

Couldn't get into AF, had to race, so there I was. What fun! I was ahead until about .75 in, then I let Golden by. Remarkably on Strave it showed him pulling ahead of me at a perfectly even rate without regard to terrain. That was weird. Once we got to the top of the climb 1.5 miles in it was an easy glide down to the Herriman puddle, then a climb back up (where I actually saw him like one time) and then a stomp to the finish. We rant to the top again EZ after the race. He broke his old record by 2 minutes and beat me by almost 3.
