Grrr.. Have just realized that I'm supposed to fly out of Boston to Paris on the Sunday of the Pittsburgh A-meet. Flight leaves at 7.55 pm, I don't think I can make it there in time from Pittsburgh driving and the one-way flights are really expensive atm... NYC->Paris would have been a much better idea for this trip!

Cemetery Hill Sprint post-thunderstorm coming through!
Goal was to try to push the pace. But, again, it was tricky!! So had to back off, no L5, only a bit of L4. Pretty smooth through first 5. Then 6, I had forever to read the map on the trail coming in and still didn't get it right, boo. Slightly flustered from that, so decided to green-bash to 7 instead of the nice trail route around...
From then on, ok, sometimes hesitant, infrequently confident enough to really run and go for it. But it's a woods sprint, so isn't super-duper easy or anything. Some probably not-best choices too - 15 went around on ride + trail but then through the woods to 17, which wasn't terrible, but likely trails would have been faster... and sped up a bit into the finish, could finally work a bit harder!
Awesome training, so many thanks to Phil, for making the course and putting out streamers!!!
