Event: OCIN FAST-O - Miami Univ Middletown
 

Course 2: A very fun and thoughtful course at MUM set by Joe Burkhead. Riding home in the car and debriefing about route choice to the first control: one of us went right, one of us went left, and one of us went straight -- pretty good evidence that there were a lot of good options throughout the course. I felt pretty good about most of my choices until I looked at the splits. I probably lost time on route choice to #3 (I went East of the tennis courts and up the big hill) and #10 (I went North, around the top of the building), but probably gained a bit of time to #7 (I went along the open area south of the parkinglot and cut-in at its SE corner). Of course the heat and my lack of sustainable speed caused me to hemmorage time as the course progressed, too.

Course2 - Splits

Checked a few controls and jogged a few legs of Thursday's sprint course. Looks like good times! I am still pretty dead-legged from the rogaine and couldn't muster more than a slow jog.

Ran these controls, in order: 50, 30, 60, 70, 51, 42, 72, 32, 53, 41, 54, 31, 52, 43, 63, 73, 61, 44, 74, 64, 40. Made an attempt at #80, but its 'feature' was described as "heavy vegetation" on a map that didn't map vegetation. I also made a good attempt at #62 and am sure that I got very close. But time was running out and I was quite weary, so I called off the search. Didn't have time to pick up #71 or #81 at the end; otherwise, the race went mostly according to plan. It was a well-set course and fun time.
