AM Warm up run.

AM NAOC Sprint in Carcross at 1:4000. Couldn't get into quarantine because the line was way too long so had to start warming up on the highway before quarantine closed, got yelled at from Brent (LOL) because he claimed it was out of bounds...ya nice try the highway was never embargoed. Shout out to him for getting me pumped for the race. Pretty stressful with all this unorganized ciaos before the start and didn't have a great feeling about the race but managed to re focus. Well once I was able to find the controls on the map it was good since the course colour printing was terrible, not sure why it was so light and how the IOF mapping committee approved this? Also not sure how Ludek Krticka didn't make a map to ISSOM standard since he is on the IOF mapping committee? Pretty good race with lots of good and safe routes in the forest section. Not the best routes in the beginning since it was impossible to see the crossing points on the map. Tried to push the running speed which I think was good but I felt slow. #6- maybe not the best route but also was hesitant which probably cost me 5s. Going to #10 the out of bounds tape along the private property boundary was wrong which cost me 3-5s...come on. I knew #12 was the make or break leg of my race so took it really cautiously in places and safe. Also so much for just running across the finish line and getting a time...you actually had to punch the last control like all the others. wow that 1s hurts. I was expecting more forest but was happy there wasn't more. It was a good fun course despite everything. 1st place for the 3rd time in a row! exactly what I have been training for.
