Warmup.

US Champs Red at Prince William Forest (QOC, 1:15). Navigated OK, with two booms of about 3 minutes each. Had a lot of trouble moving quickly through the deadfall.

Red X - Splits

Model event at Prince William Forest (QOC, 1:15). Includes running over to the model event on the B&W map (didn't follow streamers). Doesn't include easy walk back following the steamers.

Moderate jog round the hood. Legs have a bit more bounce in them - should be OK for champs this weekend.

Easy jog round the hood. Still a bit stiff from Saturday.

More constant contact work at Hawn (old map, 1:15). Three courses, 2.5-3K each. It was a little difficult to stay in contact in some places because the map is so out of date. ST=1072/1782.

That pretty much wraps up my fall preparation. Now I'll just focus on recovery and staying healty. I'd say this was some of my best technical training, but at the expense of some fitness. It will be interesting to see how things pan out. On the schedule are:

11/02-03: US Classic (Red)
11/09-10: Open, might do a local meet in Chicago or KC.
11/17: Billy Pig
11/23-24: Open
11/30: Turkey-O (3 hour score)
12/07-08: Kansas Champs & Possum Trot
12/16: Pere Marquette Trail Run

That set of races (minus US Champs) went really well last year, so I'll have a good basis for comparison.
