Walked along the rim of Grand Canyon.

Event: US Team training activity
 

Training at Bastrop, compass.

Had "tennis" session with Guy, final score 2-1 after 7 controls.

Good race, i started using the compass this made it easier to manage the different terrain. I still made some small mistakes when i tried to keep a high tempo but no big ones like i have had earlier. The mistakes this time were just pure stupidity on my side like running past the control. The course today was fun and changing.

Again today it was different terrain then what i am used to. I don't use the compass nearly as much as i should and turned or drifted the wrong way a cuple of times. At home if you are in the middle of the woods without trails you always have something to read on and locate yourself against, here it is just flat and no real things to read on. Not that i am used to read on at least, like stones, cliffs, contours and swamps.
My legs are soft and tired around the knee right now but will probably be better tomorrow.

Event: Interscholastic Champs
 

Not att all like home but an ok run for being the first o-comp for the year. Had a cuple of small mistakes and one big one but overall a good race. Didn't run at full capacity, felt that i could not give the extra speed i have in my legs.
