Event: West Point A-meet
10 AM
Trail Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 0.5 mi (29:59 / mi)
O - competition race (Lake Popolopen) 52:27 [4] 5.34 km (9:49 / km)
West Point Middle Green. Straightforward course with some interesting legs in the middle part, sandwiched between following the ridge at the beginning and roads at the end.
Too far and little past the control on 5, caught myself at the top of the next cliff and turned around to spot the control immediately behind me; 30 sec. A bit too far along the road to 8, should have cut in sooner; 30 sec.
Then cut in from the road even with 10, only to hit another control where mine should have been. Over-corrected and ran over to the big spur by the next road, only to look over and realize I needed to go back. Ran on a bearing right to the control, which couldn't have been more than 20 m from the first one and on an identical feature; 2:30 lost.
Hurting on the run-in as my brand new Icebugs had torn up my heels and every step was painful at that point.

O - competition race (Camp Buckner) 21:30 [4] 2.33 km (9:14 / km)
Patched up the heels with help from Sara Mae and duct tape; ran in sneakers and that ended up okay.
Green sprint again starting well up the hillside, saving us some climb. Nice clean run. Was taking it at my current running pace, which let my navigation stay ahead of my feet.
