Green X at Ultralong championships in Rochester. A pretty good result - decent navigation, but a lot of trouble keeping any pace, particularly uphill. Only significant bobble was at #5, where I got a line or two high at the end and had to think about it then head downhill. Maybe two minutes. Probably lost some time on 2, where I went down below the green and ran a longer route, and then was very slow and careful approaching the area of the control. Otherwise pretty steady. Saw Walter heading from six to 7 when I was on my way to 5. Saw Charlie Shahbazian several times, near #7, again between 7 and 8, when he passed between 10 and 11, and when he almost caught me at 12. He was much faster, but making mistakes. Caught Dennis on the way to # 8 and ran together to 8. Here is the map from 1 through 7.
And here it is from 8 through 12.
Finished hard, trying to hold Charlie S back in the last two legs.
