Woke up at 0530 and it was VERY COLD: like 40F, tops. Nice morning though, so I got out of the tent, made some tea, and walked around the lake. Got back, packed up almost everything, then had to wake up the guys so we could get going -- it was too damn cold to do anything but sleep, and I wasn't going back to bed.

Drove straight back to Eugene at 8 -- all the guys slept on the way back. Got back just before 10. Unpacked, cleaned up, and then ran with Merk at noon.

Pretty good run. Tired at first, but came around well by the end. Knee was so-so. Taped it yesterday but it didn't hold. Today it held but the taping wasn't done 100% correct so it didn't work too well. Rolled pretty good (6:20s again), but sketchy with the knee and all the problems it causes.

Sweet final day of trials: I called it with Gabe and Webb getting burned in the end. I called "Kip" and Lopez but Manzano was a mild surprise.

The Trials were great, but I'm actually glad they're over: back to normalcy!!!
