line-o and then a little course afterwards.

super duper tough running for the whole course. didn't make any big mistakes, though andrew caught me on 1. thank goodness he made a mistake to 6, cause otherwise we would've beaten me! :P

quite the friendly competition we've got going this week for the 5 races. it's me, andrew, and nate. first race today and nate came out on top, then me, and then andrew. teehee.

woohoo!!!

C • You rock! 1

Middle final today... very technical, not very fast, but still fun!! Didn't have any huge mistakes, and getting into the control circle went well for every single control, but then actually finding the control was quite a challenge!! quite a few times, i'd be right there, and i'd know it, but i just couldn't see the control!! one of them was a control with all the camera men and photographers... pretty embarrassing and that'll probably end up in the movie... hehe oopsy daisy!! still pretty satisfied with my race and ended up in 33rd place.

C • Movie 1

real slow run around before my start, and then again afterwards cause mike made me. :P

Oh my goodness, what a race! The start was pretty intense since there were three of us all on different courses, but going in the same direction. i was really scared that i would mess up the first control, but i did manage to find it alright along with all of the other controls... except for 11. i was doing sooo well through the whole course, spiking all of the controls and running smoothly, but the second last control, i got all excited for almost being finished and just totally bombed it. my plan was to contour around the hill until i found the control... but i ended up too high and then just ran around blindly trying to find it. really ridiculous since every single runner had to go to that control, but once i did find it it was just a straight sprint right into the finish for a 10th place. which means A final and hopefully a really good race tomorrow!!!!

C • middle final 33rd!! 11

around the model middle map just to check it out. really technical stuff with lots of rocks. ran around with graham, and then had a few races at the end. fun fun!!

C • middle 11

super duper nervous at the start of this race. but once i got my map and i was running down the road, i was sooo concentrated!!! had a clean race except for a few routes that i could've probably planned a bit better. didn't visibly pass anybody or visibly get passed by anybody either... so all by myself which i liked though it's probably better to have somebody faster to run with. super duper uber happy with where i placed!!! i triple tie for 37th, although if you keep going to a tenth of a second, then it's a tie for 38th. pretty fricken awesome!!!!

C • WAY TO GO!!!!!!! 10

running before the sprint

Felt really lazy today and my legs were tired, but still had fun toodling around the map. didn't make any big mistakes, maybe some outrageous route choices... but nothing to bad.
