17c shoes: Salomon Speed Cross 4
WPOC Keystone SP Red
Fast start following roads and trails to get around the pond for 1 and 2, which spelled doom for 3. I cut in off the road too early and in my overexertion took way too long to realize my mistake and correct it, 7ish minute error.
Saw syd as I excited 4, meaning she had already caught up 5 minutes on me, and we would leap frog for much of the remaining course, although seldom saw each other until we were within the circle. An excellent display of tortoise versus hare, as I would speed ahead on trails and then flub the flag, and she would take it slow and steady and hit it right on.
5-8 went fine, altought I missed one trail and ended up in head high thorns along the power line unncessarily.
9 was at a very indistinct "corner of a vegetation boundary". I headed straight for the last pine tree, and no flag. I ended up reattacking from a trail/stream intersection and pacing, and found it this way, but another few minutes lost and just in time to lead syd right too it, argh!.
10 was a climb, but i was actually able to jog most of it.
11 I got ahead of syd on the trail running, but had to stop to get a thorn out of my heal, and then pee, and then i overshot it, so syd passed me and I caught back up at 12.
12-14 were fine, then i totally miffed 15. I went S and syd went N, and then I got really confused with a field that didnt quite match the map, and I wasnt sure where I exited it. Saw syd leaving 15 and was able to backtrack to find the flag, but another few minutes lost and just some really bad nav on my part.
16-F was fast but the damage had been done. Lost to syd by 7 minutes and Mark L by 10.
Need to focus better next weekend! But physically I actually felt pretty good, so Ill take it.
