Flying pig classic day 1 - blue
Carter caves, KY
9.4km 680m

Another really fun (and extremely physical) flying pig classic course. My focus areas for today were pacing myself and having a solid plan for each leg, both of which I did better than normal for me.

This was one of my cleanest classics ever. I had 3 small bobbles and a few inefficient choices, but I’ll take it.

1- not climb efficient
7- not climb efficient (but really cool area!) ~20-30s
12- small bobble on an earlier boulder
13- not climb efficient ~1:30-2
14 is where I started really feeling the hills, only halfway!
15- slight overshoot ~1:00
21- tired of bushwacking hills so I took the longer trail route, probably inefficient
25- slight overshoot, ~1:30

OCIN flying pig 2019
Friday middle at Camp McKee
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.

Hopefully the last trainer ride of the year. Warm enough to be out but I owe my bike some maintenance

6x1min pickups. Not too shabby feeling.

A few new V1-3 and V2-4. Was feeling pretty good!
