setting out control for this afternoon sprint.

it is hot.

Pretty low key with both of the kids. They kept moving for most of the way. Did pretty good compared to some of the other groups toting youngsters.

Event: 2011 US Classic Championships
 

US Classic Champs - Day 1 - Red - this was the longest stretch between A meets that I have ever had - with the US Champs in Moreau last fall being the last one. Fortunately I left the event feeling good about route choices and navigation (with a couple hiccups). I also left feeling motivated about my improving my physical conditioning as it was clear that was where I need the most work.

Biggest mistakes were at #4 (heading east on the ridge just north of the ridge I needed for a couple minute loss) and losing contact briefly with the map on the way to #5. The split for #5 was pretty awful, but I never felt like I was too far off the line. I think I lost about 7-8 minutes on that leg. I had a bit of trouble with the rootstocks on the map and was positive a crossed a section of wall that didn't make it on to the map on the way to #5, but overall not too many issues with the map.

Ran 2-4 with Angelica and 5-7 with Clint. Lost Angelica on the way to 5 (or should I say she lost me), but think I stayed in front of Clint after #7.


The map and terrain were great - too bad I am missing tomorrow.
