Did this at a good pace to warm up my legs. I remembered much of it from our previous sprint here 2 years ago.

Started with MIclimber but we headed separate ways immediately. My 2019 goal is to get my confidence back and to Deserve that confidence. I’m starting in a good mental state - I’ve been training well, I feel good, and house stress is off the table.
I started off probably moving more at sprint speed than middle speed, but I felt good and didn’t mess up the first control! I was reading the map well at speed so I figured I would keep up the pace as long as I could. I had a very minor bobble on 5 and then really messed up 8. Eventually I reattacked from the road, and thought I must have been too low. Turns out I was in the right spot the first time and I am not sure how I never saw the flag. Then I miss punched after the reattack, my first MP at an A meet :(. My navigation got sloppier after 8, but I was still moving well and able to correct en route. I had some trouble making sense of 9, but now I believe it is because I wasn’t starting where I thought I was. I had a hard time contouring the last couple controls, but I still found them without trouble, just maybe not the most efficiently.
Overall I am really happy with how I felt physically and even with most of my nav. Even with one big mistake I had a 10 min per straight line km pace which is great. MPing is very disappointing though - I rarely don’t check the code! Hoping to continue to see physical payoffs in the next 2 days.
