Again, happy with this race. I nabbed silver, mainly because I stuck it out. There were quite a few DNFs, but I told myself to just carry on, and I did. Didn't have any navigational issues until #8...again. I was heading right on line to it, but passed a control on a small cliff with guys punching in. Of course, I had to find the cliff on my map, but could not. There was a cliff a ways away, and I started panicking that I had gotten so far off. Oh no, where was I?

I took a few more steps in the original direction of my control and saw someone punching in...it was in a ditch. Phew! After I got my map back and compared with Jim Hall's, I saw that the cliff was hidden by my control number for 8. It sure would have been nice if that number had been moved just a bit so as not to cover the cliff.

I was absolutely thoroughly exhausted after this. I think I fell asleep by 9:30.

Long - 6 Green F 7 Green J - Splits

Event: Flying Pig XIX - U.S. Individual Champs - Sprint-Middle-Long
 

I was pretty happy with this. Made some good route choices; only got caught out by one control - #8. I took a bad route and then ended up on the wrong side of an uncrossable wall. I could see people punching in, but I had to go around an entire building before I could get to it.

Again, happy with this considering I've done very minimal (next to none) training since thanksgiving.

Sprint - 6 Green F - Splits

Walking around the model map with Mikell. We walked under Fern Bridge. It was pretty cool.

I went with a heavier weight for each exercise. It was hard.

With a little bit of pre-planning, I went to Chatfield after work and did a short trail run. My new office is about 2 exits from the park, so it should prove to be a very convenient place to go running and biking after work. At least until the Army Corps of Engineers floods the river zone and obliterates the trails there.
