BOK day two: another decent day. Finally, I managed to have two good days in a row--it's been too long.

I literally walked to the first control, to check how tired I was, and how well I could read the map. I had tired legs from the day before (although they were not totally dead) and I was very sleepy due to a party last night, right below our hotel room, that lasted until 12:45 am. I was a bit off, but not too bad.

My goal was no big mistakes, and I did that. Still not very sharp, reacting instead of anticipating, but that's OK. I'm right where I should be for this time of the year, and I have a good list of things I need to work on next.

Another fun outing; thanks Vlad! Great to see all our friends, again too. Too bad we had to rush off to the airport; but back to work tomorrow...

Sunday: Green - Splits

BOK day one: a decent run. Tried not to go out too hard, but my adrenaline was up and I ran a little recklessly to the first control. Wandered around a bit before I told myself to stop and relocate. Once I relocated, I was fine. Poor route choice to number 2, but found the control OK; after that, I started to read the map. Couldn't run much, with all the downed trees, but it was the same for everyone, right? So, sloppy in the beginning, but I recovered somewhat and made it through without any major problems.

Saturday: Green - Splits

Event: BOK/US Team Umstead 007
 

Travel day. Delayed flights and missing luggage meant we couldn't make it to the sprint event. But at least we are in Raleigh in time to have dinner with my college roommate. It's been 10 years since we've seen each other- where does the time go ???
