Event: DVOA Germantown Academy
 

DVOA Germantown Academy - Sprint 1

No energy today, and my body was not happy. Guessing a combination of the heat and too much time spent sitting this week? My hip and back were tight starting out, and that did eventually stretch out but overall I just did not want to run.

First I just blew right by 5 and had to double back. Then a fairly big mistake on 6 - combination of scale and my brain putting the bridge somewhere different on the map than it really was. Ended up going along the wrong stream, which involved climbing in and out of a deep streambed (in only my running shoes, no spikes) and then doing the same thing in reverse once I realized my error. Got sprayed by sprinklers on the baseball field at 9 (actually welcome). At 10, had to go between the two areas of tennis courts and some kind of tournament was going on so there were crowds of people everywhere. The rest of it was ok, probably not perfect route choices and certainly slow.

DVOA Germantown Academy - Sprint 2

Second sprint around the campus buildings.... which are actually all one huge interconnected building, so a few choices involved going allllll the way around to the other side. Cool control of the day, number 11 up some stairs to a rooftop garden. No real mistakes here.
