Awoke, spent to long lounging, and then drove to Carter Baron to "pace" Oliver Satola for his 5km. Jogged for a few minutes and set myself up at the crest of the hill to watch the start. Started my watch and headed briskly down the hill. Allowed the three leaders (including Sarah Zargham's boyfriend Max and Sequoia to catch me just south of the road gate. Slipped into their pace and ran with them for half a mile before we encountered a confused race marshal who told them to turn around even though they were barely past the mile marker. In the confusion, I hesitated and the three of them did a U-Turn. I wished them well in their 3200 and then engaged with the marshal who acknowledged that "Someone dropped me off here, but they really didn't know where I was supposed to stand." I offered to run up to the real turn around and proceeded to head there, still running 6-something pace. Realized the right turnaround was at the south end of the parking pull-off just north of Boulder bridge (he'd been standing at a different pull-off). I served as the turn around point for about 8 minutes until the marshal walked up and relieved me. I then spotted Thea Joseph and jogged next to her and a friend for a few minutes before turning up the hillside and running a slippery, muddy trail to the Carter Baron parking lot. Found Satola who'd added on around the parking lot to reach 5km in 18 and change. Talked more with Thea and Sarah Zargham and Satola parents before driving home for a Saturday of chores. mileage and distance are pure guesswork.
