Event: ROC - RIT [2012 Sprint Series #1 Score-O]
 

Sprint Course at RIT. Overall slow, but no significant navigation mistakes

Score-O course at RIT. Dialed down the effort, so even slower than the Sprint. Got a painful blister about half way through.

Sprint - Splits

Event: ROC - Mendon Ponds Park [2012 Series #1] - Ice Breaker
 

Green Course at the Mendon Icebreaker.

Slow, and sloppy to boot. Dumb route choice on 1, going around the quarry CCW, vs the more obvious route of through it. Lost time relocating on 5&6 before finally settling into a rhythm.

Wore the brace on the knee for stability but tore one of the straps toward the end and couldn't get it adjusted correctly.

Highlight of the day was breaking up a dog fight between a large Husky and our 6 month old puppy. I was the only one bloodied.

C • Compass 4

Shadowing Riesa on the Yellow course, carrying a puppy.

Not much shadowing since I only saw her a couple times on the course until we got back to the finish.

Green - Splits
