So, this latest week was at East, and was the best/most hardcore trail yet. 10k through a swamp, up down hills, required fording a stream... crazy shit.

But I hit a milestone. I beat Travis, even if only by a small amount. He was very gracious and complimented me for it, such a nice guy. We'll see if I can keep in shape enough to keep it consistent.

Overall, ran 7:25 minute miles, which I feel is very good, given the course (and the fact that for practically half of it, my shoes were completely soaked). Unfortunately, my true nemesis, Erik Mundahl (never met him, this is based solely on the fact that we have similar names and he is also an environmental engineer based on google stalking), beat me by about three and a half minutes. I have work to do.
