spiked:20/21c shoes: Icebug
Rocky Mtn State Games (RMSG). Good nav, but hadn't run for about 2 weeks minus a short 20 min outing one day, so totally unprepared and felt it, but fun course and navigated well. Appreciated the clouds for the 1st half of the run. M30+ gold again, 2nd in RMSG. Troy a bit faster than me today, plus a couple folks from Denmark, one of whom I think was wearing a nat'l team jersey. I think if I had actually been keeping fit over the past couple weeks I could have shaved the needed 5 min's as I resorted to walking up several hills, so overall I'm happy w/ the results all things considered. Here's the play-by-play:
1- Up spur then hill, spike
2- Rain to trail junction then contoured around to spike
3- Direct to spike
4- Stayed in woods but kept visual of trail & road, using curve as AP then spike
5- Ran up the long reentrant to spike
6- I got a little messy in here and had to stop once I hit the middle trail because I went farther south than planned which confused me but got back on track
7- Over to open area, trail, drop-off as AP, spike
8- Used fence as handrail, contoured around the hill to spike
9- Down reentrant/hill then shallow spur to spike
10- Tried to stay same elevation across the hill, used trail a little
11- Getting tired now, feeling the pain of not working out for a couple weeks. Went right to it, just slow, spike
12- Green runner and I were in proximity for next few controls. I went a little too far north but had the right idea and spiked
13- Followed a bearing but control farther north than I thought it would be. Maybe didn't have good bearing discipline.
14- Long haul the hill but a spike
15- Straight over to road section going NE, was pretty much right on
16- A little sluggish but right on target again, spike
17- Straight to it, spike
18- Wound up farther north than planned, thought I was south of a hill but was actually north, a couple hills similar features, but once I saw the trail in front of me I took it SW to junction as AP and then spike
19- Down the reentrant high speed and sighted control from far out, spike
20- Around the south side of hill, past the building and fence on south side, corner as AP, spike
21- Contour to avoid climb, trail down to corner as AP, spike
F- Pretty good pace coming into finish all things considered.
CY17 control goal count = 778
