AT last minute decided to try walking the classic race--ankle swollen but OK for weightbearing. As expected, MUCH cleaner than Saturday and finished with a respectable time in spite of walking. Actually hobble-jogged some on last few controls on roads and fields.
It would seem, had I been able to run normally, there are places I could have done so and not negatively affected the navigation. Need to spend more time calibrating the speeds necessary for different map challenges.

Classic: Green Y - Splits

Event: West Point A-Meet
 

Ugly all around. Just couldn't seem to get myself in the right place-- as if my compass was pointing 30deg off or something. Then I really rolled my ankle about 1/3 of the way in and struggled to make it the rest of the way. I don't recall the pain being overwhelming, but perhaps it had an effect on my brain, as it went completely dead by the end (got upside down on the simple run-in to the go control...)

One to forget...

Middle: Green Y - Splits

Bollinger + Lewis Mills rd. Mostly to get my legs back after all the travel the last 10 days. Lots of distance estimation practice--pick a point 50 yds out and then see how close I get (running or walking pace count).
