◪ race (Course 7a M45+) 39:18 [5] **** 4.2 km (9:21 / km) +90m 8:27 / km
spiked:13/17c shoes: Inov8 OROC280 (2012)
I will blame it on a map and course setting ;)
Very poor execution to 4 on my side. Rushed to 5, if the circle was cut out to show contours around control, I would never missed it, otherwise totally misinterpreted the map. Went right by it, it did not help, that control was hidden more than usual, with bag touching the ground.
7 was funny place on the map, nothing made sence, when I arrived to the circle, standing for good 30 sec 30 meters from it, until Charlie arrived from a different direction and punched it. Very concervative after that, clean but loosing time to others.
Map M45+ Middle
Screw the amateurs, bring a pro mapper for a change!

Nice day to run to work, warm by fall standards and sunny (~70F), strong head wind helped cooling. Legs are almost 100% after tough weekend of racing.

road run warm up/down 13:00 [3] 2.2 km (5:55 / km) +80m 5:00 / km
slept:4.0 shoes: Salomon S-Lab Fellcross 2
mostly up-hill, felt easy (surprise!), made it with one minute to spare and take a leak. This commenting business lives no time to properly prepare for the race :). Starting on a same minute with Sergei the the sixth, or seventh or eighth... way to many Sergeys.

◪ race (Middle Red-Y) 39:44 **** 5.4 km (7:21 / km) +200m 6:12 / km
spiked:13/17c shoes: Salomon S-Lab Fellcross 2
I have very mixed feelings after this race: great terrain and venue, decent for most part map, very weak course setting job, luck of imagination of novice course setter side everywhere.
