morning - 22 Lake to Lake. Ran a warm up from the start up toward Gunlock for just shy of 3. I just kept my watch on throughout the day and clicked it whenever I would jump out and run. Goal was to run a little between each leg since I didn't run until leg 6 and 10. Watched Logan burn it up and get us out in the lead - never to relinquish; then Aaron threw down back-to-back sick legs; then Clydie-boy, back to Logan and then finally my turn. I cost us a couple minutes as I was out warming up when Logan came barreling in to Man-o-War. So I tried to push pretty decent up the trail to the River Road bridge to make up some of the time. I really didn't feel great though and didn't get into a good rhythm; fought the wind the whole way and ended up with a 5:20-:25 ave. Then Clyde and Logan and Clyde again burned up the Fields and Dam Rd. Finally I had the last leg a just shy of 8 miler around the lake. Started off pretty slow and blah, 5:40's and then 6:15 up the dam. Then I did pretty well around the lake in the gravel - 5:35's, until the dam and the wind really hit again and I had to work very hard, but kept it at 5:30 to finish. We won by a ways, had a fun time with the Circle and got good mileage in for the day. (Rocket 292.5)
Week was a pretty solid one. Good mileage, hip saw some improvement. Goals for next week: More of the same.
