Training Log Archive: O-ing

Day 3, Long. Tired for this one and a slow start. Only 9 controls, but some good long legs. Made a real hash of the first one, spent too long deciding and then chose the worst route. Also had no description holder and was holding the descriptions for the wrong course, so had a little bit of trouble figuring that out at #1.
No other real problems. Thought Shep was going a bit slow on the track to the second last so ran past him just to spice it up. Oxygen debt then took its toll on the finish split. Ted won with better routes and I reeled in Nick with that sprint to tie him for second.

Hard 3 Day3 - Splits

Day 2, Southams Road West near Kitchener. Felt a bit slow and Nick Dent was up 2 minutes by #6. First real mistake at #11 where I didn't aim off and turned the wrong way after running to a flag that wasn't mine. That put Nick 3:30 up but he gave away 1:30 at the next where I ran back through the start. A couple of fastest splits and I closed the gap to 1:25 by the end. Meanwhile, Ted Van G had a 4 minute lead at #11, but lost 6 minutes on the clearing at #17 and eventually finished 11th, 5 minutes down on Nick.

Hard 3 Day 1 - Splits

Fingal Bay. Scrappy, a few steep pinches. Legs felt tired. On the old Klein, the back brake is rubbing a bit. Wow, the GPS has me 100m offshore at one point.
