Event: CSU Pine Hill A-meet
Running warm up/down 15:00 [1]
shoes: Integrators
Orienteering (Semi-final) 32:14 [3] *** 4.3 km (7:30 / km) +95m 6:45 / km
shoes: Integrators
Ok racing. Had problems with side stitch again. Managed to keep the pain at bay however not without a great deal of time loss. The complete story is told in my splits. I was slightly ahead of Joe Brautigam at #8 and then the stitch hit and my split times dropped. In the end I lost two places.
Orienteering (Final) 47:37 [3] *** 5.8 km (8:13 / km) +150m 7:16 / km
shoes: Integrators
Unfortunately it happened again in the final. This time on the way to #7. I was a full minute slower then most on that control. Luckily I had some short wooded legs to recover and was able to run carefully for the rest of the race.
Whenever I felt pain swelling in my side I focused on breathing in for two steps and out for two steps. This seemed to keep the pain at bay. Perhaps these stitches are related to the heavy training load of the past week and a worn out core. I have had this trouble ever since I started running blue. More core workouts and continued training will hopefully put these stitches to rest.

Ran around Surebridge Mountain map. Excellent 1:15000 practice. Super nice terrain, debatably my favourite so far. Easy running, super fine detail and great weather. Wish we could stay longer but we must move on to Boston.

One man relay. Course took approx 45 min to run. We were NOT on West Point property. Found six ticks after training which is only about half of what Emily found on herself after she sat on a log.

After quick lunch, line-O excercise. One hour of orienteering into the control.
Making sure to stretch lots everyday, legs feeling used.

Orienteering long 1:40:15 [3] **** 10.3 km (9:44 / km) +435m 8:02 / km
shoes: Integrators
Spiked #14! No big mistakes however I was not entirely happy with myself at the end of the race. Took half of the course before I really fealt like I was in the groove. Saw what I think is best route choice to #7 (the long leg) half way through the leg. Hopefully the route gadget will be informative. Lost a few minutes on #5 (side hill leg at edge of map), tricky. Pleasantly no stitches this time. Really enjoyed the course.
