Water tank hills with Wayne and Kent. Larry joined us on his bike to get in some cross training without straining his injured hamstring. We all pushed the hills pretty hard. My time up was 16:40. Kent easily surged passed me up the last hill. Wayne finished just a little behind me. Kent and I took it easy all the way back home. Wayne pushed the last mile or so and finished well ahead of us. Larry's injury is a bummer, but Wayne, Kent, and Kevin are all running really well this year. They've all outrun me in various training runs this year. I need to pick up my training so if they finally beat me in a race this year (yep, that's a friendly taunt) it will mean something. I should note that some of the them have beaten me in races in past years, just not recently. Gratefully, I seem to have an extra gear in races that has allowed me to hold them off. I'm not so sure about this year.
