Comments: I ran a long warm-up, then 4 x 800 with three minutes rest between intervals. My splits were: 2:52, 2:54, 2:56, and 2:53.

It looks like they adjusted the scoring for Saturday's race, and Jake ended up beating me after all. As I suspected, they hadn't given him credit for the boat checkpoint. To get the points you needed to find out the boat captain's middle name. Since he was only at the dock a few minutes, you had to time things carefully, which is why the point value for that control was so high. Jake just caught the boat; I just missed the boat. Had I been thirty seconds faster, or Jake thirty seconds slower, I would have won, but that's not how things worked out. I'm glad they got the scoring straight though, especially since I still get some coffee.
 
Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
