Event: 2011 US Classic Championships
 

A bad day. More details later.
Edit: it's later. Here is my route. Total screw up at 2, stupid mistake at 8, lost time at 9 (see below). Also, the usual slow movement through the woods. Lost my shoes three times in the swamps between 8 and 9. Seemed to have accidentally turned off my watch in the middle. Very disappointed in myself today, because I didn't do what I said I would (like relocate all the way to the road the first time I was confused at 2)


In the meantime, control 9 on Green X (and control 8 on brown?) was protested. I understand that the decision was to void only a few classes. If so, I disagree with that decision. If the control is wrong, then it is wrong for all. I believe both the Brown and Green X courses should be voided.

Here is a close up of my track from the control. You can see that I found the control, and headed north, from a point that is quite east from the drawn circle.

Day 1 Green X (Course voided) - Splits

Really looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. And so happy to see 10 (!) women in my age class. It's going to be a lot of fun.

We've passed the two week mark for 100 degree days. This is getting old. Even if the temps are in the 80s in NY this weekend, it'll feel wonderful.
