Felt a little rushed in the warmup but managed to get calm and focused at the start. Plan was to go steady with no big mistakes.... well THAT plan went down the drain pretty fast....
Small bobble on 2 because I thought i'd gone too far left on my bearing, and it was hard to see up in the green so I got pulled too far to the right. Corrected quickly and I re-focused well.
I planned a super solid route to 4 going past 1 and down the valley and then climbing up to the ridge and then down into the plateau. I was flying down the valley and then climbed up to what looked like the first set of cliffs, but I was somehow at the top. I didn't see any other cliffs on my way up so that was weird. So I started going down, but then saw no more giant cliffs below me so i thought i'd gone too far. Relocated and tried again with no luck. Ended up trying to attack from close to 5 (which involved going ALL the way down and ALL the way back up) just so I'd be SURE of where I was. Area was really .... weird, and many others seemed to have trouble in there too. Haven't made such a huge mistake in a longggg time, lost about 10 mins on that baby.
ANYWAYS, I was able to channel that frustration and nail all the remaining CPs and push probably the hardest I've pushed in a middle in a while, just trying to catch up to Pia and Jen. Almost got Pia at the end, if only the course had had 2-3 more controls...
Overall, was happy with the entire course except for that big blow up. Knowing that so many others had issues in there doesn't make me feel so bad. Plus, so many other legs were so great, and I was really in a good headspace makes for a good overall race.

This was SUCH a fun sprint at Trophy Point!! It was pissing rain at the start but I knew that that was just going to make it even more fun... except for almost blowing away in the wind going to 7...
Started off in a tricky little section with some levels and stairs and such. Made the wrong routechoice to 2 but in that kind of stuff you just have to find a route that works and go with it. Hesitated right at the control at 4 because I couldn't see the flag where it was tucked in this like 1 foot wide nook. 5-9 were pretty much just straight up running, but I wish I'd done some more reading ahead on those legs.
Totally didn't see a path that lead RIGHT from 12-13 so I had to do this awkward side-hill dance ... whoops.
Hesitated out of the circle on the way to 17 because I noticed at the last minute that the CP was under the bridge, but only lost maybe 3-5 there. I also almost died coming down the slope to 17... that was wet and slick and so steep.
Picked the longer way around to 19 because I didn't want to go back up that monster hill. It was longer but I pushed hard. Then at 20 I was proud of myself for reading my control description, but it turns out I was wrong and it was wrong so I went into the underground parking garage when the CP was actually outside and down below.
Overall, happy with this race, and I really had a lot of fun out there!

ahr:159 max:165 shoes: Brooks Ghost 10
Update: may be bursitis but likely just overly tight in the hip and IT band area and lower back. May be as a compensation for my right knee pain or from lots of sitting while studying (even though I’ve been trying to stand). No running tonight. Hopefully I can do something tomorrow morning before my last exam and then car ride to NY.

3mins rest
4x2mins, 1min rest.
Rolling hills like Saturday. Tried to keep all the 4 minuters around 4mins per k. Around that for all of them which was hard work on the soft trails. Really felt strong today and worn the heck out by the end. Body held up though, very little knee pain and nothing in my lower leg. Must be the sunshine :)
