Woke up with a bad cold today.

Public races day four, open course 8. A pretty good race! Had one 30s mistake on 13, a short leg in a thick, complicated area where I missed my exit direction from 12. Also lost some 45s on 15 when I got stuck trying to get down some cliffs. A good confidence-builder for the relay.

Finally, first visit into the forest, messing around on the long/relay model map. I found it to be relatively benign - good runnability, high visibility, good footing, hardly any junk on the ground, lots of discernible features - though I wasn't moving at race pace.

Yog with brother Will of the North. Good to catch up - it's been a while, I think since last NAOC.

Event: WOC 2016
 

WOC Sprint qualification. Pretty crappy race. Took a bad route choice to 4 which cost me 20s (on the plus side, if I had gone the right way there I wouldn't have been able to say hi to my sister and brother-in-law) and made a huge mistake on the way to 16. Had trouble differentiating between what was OOB and not, and nearly ended up in someone's backyard before getting weirded out by the whole situation and going the long way round; lost ~50s. Should have been around 15min or a bit under.

Everyone here is fast at the running and the navigating!

Jog with brother Giacomo.
