Sun 6/12 - AM 40 minutes incl. 5k

Back half of the same ill-advised weekend double I did a year ago, but the trip to the island was once again irresistible. Late arriving ferry and little flexibility in the schedule meant that there was almost no time to warmup. In fact the warmup was doing a set of strides back and forth near the starting line. Steady and relentless WNW winds raking across the harbor made for a distinctly tactical experience, with a couple decent stretches of getting absolutely blasted by the wind coming head on. Thankfully, the field was far less competitive than a year ago and after a mile it was clear it would be a two-horse race. Found myself in the lead just before completing the first of two laps even though I didn't yet want to be given how windy it was. From there, I decided to press on and not look back until cresting the one small hill just after the two mile mark. At that point I was surprised to see no one in sight. With that breathing room established I backed off the rest of the way. Two miles in around 11:40 or so, the last mile a lot slower than that. Not much of a cooldown before grabbing lunch and hiking over the island for the rest of the afternoon.
