Event: West Point National Meet
 

West Point Middle Green Y. I enjoyed this run, nice woods, good map, mostly straightforward navigation. On the first three controls I made little errors approaching the controls, which, on 2 and 3, were fairly costly because of having to run back uphill. The rest of the way went well, and I kept up good speed, to finish second in M60 and 9th on the course.

West Point Sprint Green. This was a continuation of my terrible performance on sprints. I don't know why I bother with them. Things fell apart on #4, when I crossed through the woods by the pond and came into the obstacle course without knowing where I was. I lost minutes on each control in this area, in too much of a hurry to actually figure anything out. Then a good sequence after leaving the obstacle course, until I mispunched at 18, punching a control hung on a picnic table about 20 meters away instead. I see now that the picnic table was not a man-made object, but a stand for a control described as a paved area.
