Training Log Archive: Danish Dynamite

Urban sprint. I ran it at a good pace considering the amount of speed workouts I've done in the last half year. It went pretty well, the thing I probably need to improve the most on is using those manual punches because I took far too long struggling to use one them when my SI wasn't working at a control. I was having a hard time seeing a few of the walls and overhangs on the map (the light grey)

Park sprint. Race went well, my legs were tired but only a two route choice mistakes. Running to control 8, I ran along the grass/park and then cut through the green (where I lost all the time) instead of running on the trail on the other side. I also have to make sure I plan my exits from a control consistently because I was sloppy a few times. Then to 15 I didn't see the small bridge and ran the longer way around the lake/pond. Ended up costing me 25 seconds or so. Overall I'm happy with my races this weekend.

My race went good, I started off slower since I had no idea how tiring these 11k and 790m of climb would be. My main goal had been to look more at what is in the circle and control description. This I did for most controls, however there is still lots of room for improvement on some controls, so just do a better job visualizing or try to find even a subtle attackpoint so I'm not just running down a spur waiting to hit a pit. Also a note to self, incorporate eating gels into walking up a hill or something less time consuming then standing around for a minute. Another thing I noticed is I must me more aggressive running through thick vegetation.

Decent race, had a couple of good legs later on in the race but was sloppy on a good number of them. The main problem was rushing outing of controls with poor bearings or not a good enough exit feature and sometimes not noting the feature the control was on.

Jumped on the bandwagon and decided I'd look at Jan's maps ...Only the forest though
