ROC Ultra Long Champs - not really going to go into this right now...it's enough to say that it was long, really long, the map was terrible, and I'd definitely say that the course setting was sub-par and unnecessarily brutal. I was glad when it was over.

UltraLong: Red Y - Splits

ROC Sprint Champs - fairly clean in my navigation, only met with some trouble at #16 attacking the control from the wrong side of the tree and then took a poor route to #17, but otherwise pretty pleased with how I navigated. My speed, however, is another story. Very slow, but that's what happens when you run only sporadically over the summer...

ROC Middle Distance - I was less pleased with this race for a number of reasons. First, as I was coming into number two I fell into a marsh and was stuck up to my armpits in mud!!! Second, I was really disappointed with the lack of difficulty in the course - many of the legs were orange or even yellow legs that required very little navigation and relied heavily on trail running with the control only hung a very short distance off the trail. A middle distance course is supposed to be short, techincal legs, and I can't think of many, if any in this course that reflected that design. Since the level of techincal difficulty was very low speed was one's friend for this race - something that I am lacking at the moment - therefore all this race managed to do was make me more tired for Sunday...

Sprint: M/F21 - Splits

Middle: Red Y - Splits
