I hit up the Kupenda 5 mile trail at Gordon College in
Wenham on Saturday. It was race number two of the North Shore Trail Series. I
jumped into the lead in the first mile shortly after we hit dirt. Dmitry
Drozdov, Jonathan May, and Sean McDonough were in the mix. The lead felt
comfortable through mile 1 and 2. My legs were light, quick, and hitting the
terrain and hills with authority. Dmitry went by and I trailed him onto the
quad (half way mark). It was just a matter of time before he took command. I stayed on his heels until my wheels fell off in the second
trail loop around 3.5 miles. He floated to the finish for the win (28:06) and I held 2nd
place (28:31). Jonathan followed with 28:57. Full results. I picked up a gift certificate for New England Running Company. Rumor has it that they have Inov8 on the shelf now
and I could use some new treads. Roger Perham took over 300 photos.
After a nice workout last night with SRR, the plan is to rest up and hit the track for a mile leg in the 26 X 1 mile relay at Tufts on Saturday. I am not looking to repeat any episodes of hamstring issues.
