World Cup Round 1 Middle
With not so much legit fitness atm, I wanted to run a solid, clean race today. No major mistakes and a lot of good control.
I was a little too much in my head at the start and felt very flustered going to 1. I saw that there was this path almost right to the control but the starting area had all of this tall grass so it was quite hard to actually see the path when I started so early on in the day. I felt like I was wasting time trying to find it and noticed the green wasn't actually so bad so I went off that way following what I thought was the right stream. Turns out it was just an eroded area that lead me too far left of the control. I relocated off the trail and then re-focused my brain. Lost a decent amount of time here so that's a big bummer.
After sorting my brain out, I picked the safe trail route to 2 and nailed it. From 3-about 9 I was with a Czech girl and an Italian girl. We all were taking some micro route choices together out there and then coming back to the controls at the same time. This helped me keep my pace up a bit and feel very focused. The Czech girl got away and I basically lead the Italian for the rest of the course. I was visualizing really well and feeling super in control of my race. I didn't have any issues for the rest of the course except trying to get through some green going to 11 which got me a bit off my line. Really worked hard right to the end on this one.
Overall I'm super happy with this race. I put in a solid performance (except #1) as I wanted and felt so on top of my navigation. Good stuff.
