| At the end of first loop I felt week from ths cold I was having. At the end of second loop I knew that end of close and I pushed as much as I could. Somewhat clean race overall. Some burps here and there but nothing major. Instead of doing sure routes I opted to go straight wherever possible for navigation training purposes, except avoided Webster green as mush as necessary since it is nasty, nasty green. Even so - I got few cuts; one in my head when tried to go under some bushes. |

| I was planning to use stationary bike at gym however both hearphone sets for stationary bikes I use were broken. There was no way I'd be spinning without listening and watching some TV.
Ended up watching documentary about BTK. Thought what I had that I have seen people like BTK but most people prefer not to mess with that type of people because they are just dangerous in many ways. |

| What sucks about this situation that I have to work - I have huge, huge project deployment scheduled for Friday and I am already one employee short. This is second day I am working sick and certainly it does not help to get better |

| Good race. I managed to avoid big mistakes but collected few what I would call between big mistakes and small mistakes.
There were couple directional mistakes again. One was 180% mistake. I love my new compass but I got to learn how to take advantage of it every time.
Few times I just totally lost contact with the map. Worst was #10 where I was pretty much standing for like 2 minutes withing 50 yards from the flag.
Other thing I noticed that I tend to get way too tentitive near the flags. I know that I am close but I am affraid to spike or something. I kind of know where the flag should be, I even look that direction and run that direction. I got to work on my confidence near the flags. During the legs I am in perfect control, few times even adjusting my original route choice to better one once I spotted something better.
Other realization is that I have been running in the same maps for almost last 10 years that that does not improve my orienteering skills. I need to look for more opportunities to race outside Rochester. |
