Could of would of should of. US LONG O CHAMPS at Chattahoochee Bend St. Park. This area used was a food plain, so flat areas, but overall nice woods to run in. only was tripped 4 times by low vines. I blew the first control, which was a long leg. I just wanted to head away fro the marsh and headed way to far and when I was looking for a dirt road, I hit paved road and went brain dead thinking this was the road I wanted. I lost 10 minutes on this leg and that cost me 2nd place at least.
The rest of the course went fairly well so a positive on that.
So on to the next meet tomorrow YEA!

C • To much beer last night, huh 2

Long - Green X - Splits

Event: US Individual Championships (Sprint/Middle/Long/Trail)
 

US Sprint Champs down here at U of West Georgia. A campus sprint, with little to no wooded sections. I lost a lot of time at no 1, cuz I could not see it from above, so I went all the way around the bushes and than into the control. On no 5 it was a tunnel like between two buildings and I did not see the control so I went around and hit it. But I watched a couple of young guys climb a black line over a wall to get the control....interesting that it was wrong to climb the wall and have heard that some others had done it, even some winners of some courses. Check out BL log for pic of the illegally climbed wall.
Overall third by 5 seconds from fourth and 20 seconds from 2nd. Nice weather for the upcoming weekend.

Sprint - Green - Splits

Model/practice area at chattahoochee bend st park. Well the woods were pretty thick and scratchy. Seemed like my kind of ridge and valley, but the real courses are much flatter. Did I say thick....might be slow courses if this is the type of woods we run in.

C • Woods 2

Track workout....200, 400, 600, 400, 200 x2

C • love those ladders, cuz it ... 11

Track team did a one hour jog-a-thon. I did 28 laps. So boring running on the track so long, but training just the same.

Nice run at Pets single track trails, just across from Parkside. I felt really good out there on a great day. Had to hit the hilly section before I left.

Bristol Woods, yes it was nice and as usual never run into anyone. One of the best kept secrets in Kenosha County.
