TT Long at Blue Mountain, New York

Ran good for about 70 min then the heat go to me. The map disintegrated exactly at the crossing of the lines of the three long legs because of the plastic bag got a small scratch at some point and some sweat came in (paper quality was very poor and this should not happen on a major race like that). So for 15 and 19 had to go on around route choises since I did not know what's on the map along the direct lines :(

Bonked in the last 4 km and walked the last long leg and from 19 to the end.

Lost 11 pounds of weight in 2 hours and 10 mins in the forest...

For the rest of the day: throwing up couple of times, and enduring alternating hot and cold waves through my body. The 20 min soak in the lake was great help, and the AC during the drive back a blessing. Ah stopped at REI and got a Brooks Cascadia trail runners for 69 bucks (110 normal price). That's I guess the high note of the day.
Stomach got good enough to accept fluids and food by 7 - 8 PM so drank alot, ate bunch of fruits, yougurt soup (tarator) thanks to Pavlina without garlic), recovery drinks, more watter, etc... steady and continuously to about 11 ish.

Event: US Team Trials for WOC '11
 

TT Sprint at SUNY College, Purchase, New York

Short enough so that the heat did not bother me at all. Did not take the route choices through the tunnels for 9 and 13. (10" and 20" respectively) And for 5 could not see the passage through the buildings going stright, so decided to just go lieft around the building (5")

30 - 35 sec lost.
