Race: Summer Trail Series #2 (4.5 Miles) 00:37:57, Place overall: 21, Place in age division: 3
Total Distance
6.00

Quite a bit of rain past two days left the mostly single track course slick and muddy in parts - fun fun.  The rain also left the weather coolish but humid - not too bad.  It was billed as 4.5 miles and likely was right around there - Garmin reported 4.58.  With the twisty turny slick course, I was quite pleased with the 8:25ish overall pace - much better than the over 9 min pace for the first race in the series a month ago.

I went out strong to escape the vibram/cross-fit crowd (not that theres anything wrong with that), and was only passed once during the whole race - always fun.  I witnessed only one bad ankle roll, and had no issues myself.

Long run of 16 on tap for tomorrow - off for a nap now.

Nice race Doug.

I get in the habit of taking a daily late morning or early afternoon nap every day during the summer. One of the perks of teaching! I go to XC practice at 8 AM, run with my boys, run some errands, and then nap.

When the school year starts I find myself wanting to nap around 11 AM. I almost feel the urge to put on a DVD and curl up behind my desk. Takes two or three weeks to shake it.

Good running Doug! Not that there's anything wrong with that :)
