Lots of jogging around at the Billygoat sprints - warm-ups, cool-downs, picking up controls with John Fredrickson.

Billygoat Sprint #1.
A strange sprint, felt more like just a very short normal cours, especially the second half. Wasted some time on 1 and 3, not reading the map carefully enough, didn't take the best route choice to 5 and 6, got squarely beaten by Ross as a result - he ran 10:11. I was second.

Billygoat Sprint #2.
Took a nice long break between the sprints and felt pretty good at the start of this one. Too high on #1, too low on #2 - caught Vaidm there from 2 minutes back and went down a reentrant there with him instead of climbing up. Probably lost like 30 seconds there. Ran well to 3 - right across the big marsh -brought back memories of Swedish orienteering. :)
Slow climbing up the hill to 4, then clean to 5. Another second place, this time 10 seconds behind Will Hawkins.
Nice day, fun sprints!
