      Next up for me is the Wellington XC Championships which is Sat 17th.  It is 6k (again hilly with jumps like last week - in fact a bit hillier if I remember rightly).


      Having roundly beaten my last week's goal I've actually changed this week's - will now be aiming for 28mins.

        Good luck Jerry (I had to read that twice before I realised it really did say 50 miles)!


        You too Perfesser - have a great race.  I did a trail half yesterday - it was great fun and amazing views but really really tough.

              Spur o the moment XC 5k on the 13th. Noblesville XC Twilight Series (Noblesville, IN, USA). Goal was sub 21.

               

              Result = 20:58.

               

              First real XC race for me. My twin 9 yo boys ran too as well as my wife. First time for them as well. We had a blast.

               

              About 100 HS girls and boys + coaches and a couple of parents running. Man I felt old. One thing I learned is that grass sure is slower than pavement. I need stronger legs if I'm going sub 20 at XC.

                Reporting back.  I'll try and keep the excited squeaks to a level where you can't actually hear them all the way from NZ.

                and


                a silver medal :-)

                    Nice, tough run that pretty much kicked my ass. Lack of training, altitude, unusually warm temps and a nice rocky descent/climb through Devil's Canyon. I really had the HR pegged for the last few miles but DW and I finished in 2:41 or so. Soaked in the cold San Juan River on the way back to our B&B. 

                    Highly recommended 50mile/50k/HM, I plan to return next year for at least the 50k. 

                    And, talking to one of the volunteers who clears and marks trails today, I learned that if they mark the trail too soon before the race, the cows eat the ribbons. Cows are stupid.
