Radio Orienteering race 29:32 [3] ** spiked:6/6c shoes: X-Talon 212
World ARDF Champ's - Foxoring. Steep hills, trails 95% of the time. Somehow I missed seeng an outlier control on my map, so when I came in everyone thought I won. Nope. I'm only the World Champion of everyone in my class who also accidentally missed the outlier control! I'm not sure how I didn't see the control on the map as I deliberately scanned it several times to make sure I wasn't missing one. Lesson learned: on my frequency note card I put in my clue sheet holder I should also list the controls I need to find. Had I done this it would have forced me to slow down and re-scan the map visually until I found it. On the positive side my split times were pretty good for the controls I visited despite the lingering ankle sprain issues.
World ARDF Champ's Day 1: Sprint, Fox-O, 80m classic, and 2m classic model events. Frequencies are going to be the main challenge. Map was really good. All equipment worked like a charm. A bit rainy, enough to cancel the fun parts of opening ceremony.
Last ankle session w/ the trainer before Korea. Some good plyometrics. Still not 100% especially on the downhill but good enough to put up a good fight next week at the world champ's. Here goes!
