Event: US Team Trials for WOC 2012
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2]
Warm up around and around, spying on what was happening on in the men's race. Obviously a route choice from the spectator control.... Girly warm-down plus Ian, playing splits game.
Orienteering race 18:46 [4]
20c
Sprint at University of West Georgia
Mostly a good race, but I'm disappointed because I was yet again caught out by a wrong-side-of-wall trick!!! Argh! I read the control description, knew it was on south side of the wall, but didn't look hard enough at the map to decipher that the stair case indicated was actually fully blocked off by a black line/wall and not a way up. Bah!
Felt a bit slow in the beginning campus-building part, not so flow-y and the areas of light green with no apparent distinct border scared me. Didn't want to find myself in one! Second half with simpler navigation and less light green to worry about, I picked it up and started getting some top-10 splits compared to the whole field (only 8 seconds down to speedy Eddie on first route-choice leg). I choose left both times for route choice, happy with those choices, although I think going right for the first one, executed properly might be a smidge better.
