BBA 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
Travel day. I was hoping for a chance to run today, but the powers that be had other plans. A delay in Atlanta kept me from having time to train today. I'll just have to train more later ;)

Red Top Mountain! I've been hoping to explore this venue for a while and I was really grateful that Charlie helped us get some maps.

Made a short course for me and Ali before she went to catch her flight.
Beautifully open forest, lots of climb though!
Body feels great. Did I run this weekend? I wasn't too fast this weekend but I can tell my body is ready to handle LOTS of kms through terrain.
Can't upload the map because of a technical problem, but there were 19 fun controls :)
Control Count: 578
800 here I come!

Final GNC Race.
Really flat and fast. When I left 6 there were thorns blocking my exit to the left so I went up and over the hill. The trail probably still would've been faster.
Almost lost it on 20 when I climbed over the ditch and thought it was the green spur. And the shallow reentrant had become a swamp with all the rain, so I was hesitant to cross it. But after not seeing any flags I decided to keep going.

SMOC's Livelox: https://www.livelox.com/Viewer/GNC-2019-Day-2-Blue...
Pretty good overall. A mistake on 17 when I lost focus because I started thinking about emails I had to send and people I had to call. When orienteering, think about orienteering, Greg.
Achilles started hurting a bit.

Note
Just got an invitation to compete at Ecuador's Military Games. Apparently it's all expenses paid for me and any teammates who would want to come.
Unfortunately it's the weekend before our Team Trials and I don't think I can make a trip down to Ecuador without adding too much stress to my life a week before them. I'll keep looking at my options.

Peter's final day out here. So I took him on a run up Mount Minsi to see if I could finally break him ;) Looks like he was able to hold out until the end. Although he admitted he was close to throwing in the towel.
The plan for this was for a hard workout, but not necessarily going after my records. So I was very happy to see that I was only 3 seconds off of my record of 16:30, and the effort this time round was significantly easier than when I set that record. So that's progress.
