Other race 1:14:10 [3] *** 4.6 km (16:07 / km)
spiked:11/13c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #2
Green course at EMPO local event, Schenectady Museum NP. First official test of EMPO's new SI equipment (which went well).
It's hard to set an adanced course here due to the extensive trail network, but I still managed to botch the first two controls. Not only that, but I was the last club member to course-set here (2005) and had been all over the map. D'oh!
Once I got over the 1-2 hump, though, I did fine and ended up 1st of the 3 women who went out. :-) I even managed to beat a few of the men, but took 1.6 times longer than Glen (when we both have good runs, I'm about 1.5xGlen's time), based on those two mistakes. However, I would have been second woman if an adventure racer hadn't made a 25 minute error on one of the controls. :-) She had very good split times on the other legs (she's also a young thing...).
