DVOA long at Rodney scout reservation
It’s a good day when I’m only 30 seconds behind sydney! Another cool but sunny morning, but a little warmer than yesterday morning. Successfully started off slow and therefore had early success. My first bobble was on 4, I’m not sure what happened because I think I came up in the right spot but just didn’t spot the flag. Corrected eventually and moved on. Things went well through 8, including nailing a long leg and then 2 extremely vague bearing legs, so super proud of that. Bobbled 9, I was at the right gully, but too low on it and second guessed myself. The second half of the course also went well, although my legs were pretty beat. I kept my mind in it. I think running red was the right choice for my current fitness level, and means I had 3 races I’m happy with this weekend.
