Sprint at Team Trials at Lehigh University. Pretty good run, planning well in advance almost the whole way. A couple of routes that may not have been the best (2-3, 16-17), plus bad execution 9-10, don't know why I went down the stairs where I did. But still pretty good. I was shooting for no more than 30% behind and I was more like 23-24%. Of course that may have been because the young guys were all too slow.
Best time was 20:05, Eric Bone, a second ahead of Ross Smith. I think Eddie was the third US but Im not sure.
Best for the women was Hillary (21+), then Samatha (22+), Viktoria (23+), Pavlina (24+), Angelica (24+).
I have my doubts as to whether any of the times were of the quality needed to qualify for an A final. Although the goal today for some, I'm sure, was just to get in a good run, don't do anything stupid. So hopefully there is more potential.
My
routes on the men's course.
A very fine course by Randy Hall, and a excellent sprint venue. Much more like European city sprints than what we normally get over here. A good O' challenge and really really fun.
