| This was a pretty tough day.
The heels were still pretty tender, so I decided that it would be smarter not to start my course today. I asked for something to do to help with the event, but they were pretty flush with volunteers and didn't need any extra bodies. Vladimir asked me to help bag Red/Blue maps for Sunday, which I was happy to do (didn't look at them, though). Then I went to the finish area and talked with Gerald for a while, and met Scott when he finished. I was thankful for the conversational distractions. | ||

| Haven Hill sprint at US Team Trials A-Meet (SMOC). Red/Blue sprint.
I came into this weekend with some concern about my heels and the new shoes, since I had some blisters started from last weekend's Story meet. Since this sprint was the shortest event of the weekend, I decided to tape up good and give the shoes a second try. I started off strong (for me), and was on pace for my typical sub-10 min/k sprint run until leg 10, when the heel pain slowed me down to a hobbling walk. On inspection at the finish area, I found that the shoes had now torn the blisters completely open on both heels. Mike M. made a comment in a recent log about a run making him feel "old, fat and slow". Well, struggling with these heel issues after five years of orienteering, and at an out-of-state A-meet no less, made me feel very out-of-place there. I couldn't even make eye contact with anyone in the finish chute. Absolutely crestfallen. | ||
