BC Champs Middle 2
I felt better physically this time than on the first day, and had high hopes for this race. I lost a bit of time to 1, not climbing out of the start, but then ran 2-5 well before losing map contact to 6 and having to bail out by the swamp. This cost about 1:30, and Will, who started two minutes behind me, could see me leaving as he came in. We spiked 7 and began the climb to 8. I worked hard to stay with him, and that cost me the focus I needed to realize that we were screwing up. A massive mistake followed (about 4 minutes), and the race was over. I did ok the rest of the way, except for not seeing the flag at 10 (Will caught up to me again there), and then going to the correct feature at 14 before finding the flag on the wrong cliff about 50m away. This was the second misplaced control on our courses this weekend, which is unfortunate.
Still, I really enjoyed the terrain and course setting. This was well worth the trip, and I only wish I was fitter so I could handle the terrain better. Thanks to the organizers!!
