Blue - 4.8k - 230m climb
Really fun middle blue course! I went out a little fast and started getting pretty winded in climbs by the halfway point. My first bobble was on 6 where I almost got pulled onto the wrong parallel spur but corrected in time. Exiting 7 I got pulled up the hill too early and was lower than I thought. I couldn’t get to map to match and lost 4 ish minutes looking for 8. Turns out I was just off the corner of the map, which explains my difficulty in relocating. I didn’t have a solid plan to 11 and drifted, but when I got to the open field I knew where I was. I picked up the pace for the rest of the race and felt pretty good.
Overall pretty good, only one big error. Still need to work on pacing myself from the start.
