I had some trouble with this course. I knew I was in the right spot for number one, but I could not see it right away. Two through eight I found relatively alright. Then on the way to nine, I lost contact. I wandered around in the woods for a bit. I saw the control, but did not think it was the one I needed only to return to it later. From then on I struggled it seemed. I was too high for number ten and went right past it. Then I climbed high for number eleven as well because I did not want to go along the side of the contours. I felt quite fatigued during this race.

Day 2, Sprint, Red - Splits

Event: West Point A-meet
 

A little better today. Middle distance red course. The biggest difficulty today was losing my finger stick for about ten minutes. My GPS battery died. At least I was able to figure out where to go!

Sprint race. I got a bit tired after a little bit of climb toward the end.

Day 1, Sprint, Red - Splits

I must admit that I failed miserably at the Billygoat. It was difficult to accept. I think I understand what happened after evaluating my thinking process. However, my hope is to be able to face the orienteering community and recover this weekend. I thank Charlie for some inspiration in that regard.
