Score O event at Lake Jacomo (Fleming Park) today. Beautiful weather and good turn out. The woods are totally crappy, and I should have known better, but I kept trying to cut corners and go cross country. this was always a waste of time, since the markers were all close to trails. I should have thought like the person who hung the markers, and look for the easiest way in. Also, I tried to get cute and get ahead of an adventure race couple, which lead to mistakes at 20 and 18. I'm most bummed about the mistake at 15, when I directly approached the control, didn't see it, and decided to look elsewhere. We had 90 minutes and I made it back with 2 minutes to spare, having gotten all but 3 controls. I did a very good job of moving all the time, and I pushed the pace. My legs are tired now.

Short jaunt around Holcom park, doing a bit of Runner's World Speed 101 workout. Time to start preparing for sprint season.

Then came home and had a glass of champagne to celebrate earning the Southwest companion pass (good for free travel until Dec 2017)!

Met Eric at Woodridge to review the courses, check out some new points, and hang some vetting tapes. Another warm day (8c when we were out).
