| West Point A meet day 2, Blue. After a 2 1/2 minute 'error' in the twilight zone of random mapping at control 1 (Swampfox, if he has anything to do with the area, even in 1979, should consider suing somebody or something for whatever substance made him miss a wall or two...), most of the rest was fairly clean. I was pleased to spike two of the three side-hill controls and to stop a little below one of them but exactly in line. Things got a little sloppy towards the end, although again some of the mapping wasn't at 2006 standards in places.
I did walk about four or five hills, but had more energy than expected, something that suddenly started five minutes before my start and kept going. Obviously chocolate chip peanut butter granola bars have more power than it would appear. Pleased with the run, yesterday considered. Beat Msgr. Frederickson by a couple of minutes. |

| Trek on the Anthony Wayne side of the Palisades. Up the hill and down again. Took a circuitous route down the hill, just to be sure of not getting stuck in the green; since the team behind us did so also, we were fine. Won by 3 minutes over second (ARFE) and 9 minutes over third (EMS 2). |

| Fundraiser sprint at Camp Buckner at West Point. Took a fall on loose leaves four controls in due to wearing non-spiked shoes, resulting in a nice bruise on a log. Legs not full of energy; stomach still full of not-yet processed energy in sandwich form. Plus switching to 1:5000 from 1:25000 isn't immediate. |
