Another great Lynn Woods XC run, I love the spirit behind these informal races. What could be purer than a bunch of people lining up and seeing who can run through the woods the fastest. The guys that put these on are really devoted to the sport; timing, refreshements, results posted online, pictures, numbers, couldn't be any better. This was my 4th Lynn Woods this summer and I liked this one the best. I decided early on to push on the uphills and go easy on the downhills, I am still concerned about injuring my left foot. This made for a great run as some of the younger guys would scream by me on the downhills and then I'd plod by them on the uphills. Lots of single track running which was a good change from pounding it out on the fire roads,this also made for a more controlled pace and a chance to just file in with a bunch of other runners. According to the time/distance which is always a bit iffy the splits came in just under 7min/mile. The wife and kids came to cheer on dad which is always the icing on the cake. I've complimented my running this week with biking to work, with the heat it just makes it difficult to get runs over 7 miles in, so I figured the extra hour on the bike each day wouldn't be a bad thing.
