NAOC Middle. Trying to focus on a clean, strong race. Was fairly clean in the circles, with some short suboptimal route choices. Interesting course to have route choices on many short legs, but not super hard control sites for the most part.
Unfortunately, the run-strong part of the equation wasn't there. Felt sluggish the entire time - e.g. felt like I was pushing hard but just not moving. HR suggests similarly, as even when Rob Baker ran by, I felt like I was pushing as hard as I could to keep up, yet my HR was only in the low 170's. It should average 175 at an important Middle event. Partly, my feet work cold, and unsteady, but there were several uphill legs where I could've conceivably gone to a 180 max HR w/little foot or slipperiness issues to keep the HR down. Some days I guess the gas pedal just isn't there...
