OCIN - US Master Champs. Really good run.
A little slow going to #1 while I deciphered and pieced together the trails. Mis-read what I thought was a trail junction but was really just two trails passing near each other. Intended to use that trail junction as an attack point but since it didn't exist I just ran past it for another 50m. Then full stop for about a minute to decipher where I was. Not to far off, a good creek junction nearby (just 50m W of the control) led me right into the control.
After that the run went really well. Spiked every control. Post race analysis shows I could have had slightly better routes on a couple legs. But no time lost due to mistakes! Third place (again), 43 seconds out of first.

Event: Flying Pig XXVI - Total Eclipse of the Pig - 2024 Masters Nationals
 

Walking on the permanent course at Heuston Woods campground.
Green woods has reasonable visibility but definitely is slow running. Hills are steep, reentrants are narrow and deep.
Plan for the racing is to stay out of the green and out of the reentrants.

OCIN - Middle distance race.
Went very well, turns out I was a little slow to the first control but I didn't think so at the time. Good route to #2. Went straight rather than 2-3 times the distance to go around the reentrant. Down and up the reentrant really wasn't so bad since it was only 2-3 contours and white woods.
Rest of run was really good O-wise until #11. Had trouble reading the map, probably mostly because of being tired. Lost ~1 min.
Finished third, less than 1 min out of first.

A little time on the elliptical to warm up and loosen up just before yoga.

A slow-ish vinyasa flow class. I still don't like how hot (85F) they keep the yoga room.
