| I lost my e-punch right after 2 on the first sprint, so I didn't finish that one. The second sprint went pretty well though. Eddie started a few seconds late so I basically followed him to 1 and followed him past 2 and then had glimpses of him until 5. Aside from the mistake on 2 spiked every control. Was running reasonably fast, had no one to follow after 3, so I was pleased with my run.
Peter seemed surprised to have trouble catching up to me, which was nice to hear. I think I'm faster on sprints than I should be given my time on longer courses, because I've had more practice with them and with pacing myself for them. I still don't really know how to pace myself to run for the duration of a red course, especially if there's appreciable climb. I'm also not fit enough for longer courses, whereas I can keep up a good pace for the duration of a sprint. |

| Day 1 red at DVOA's memorial day weekend event. Started out well but goofed up #2 and really screwed up #3, then went through a bunch of green and climb for the rest of the way which I was slow in and not motivated for after the early mistakes. Legs were also tired - probably should have taken Saturday off. |

| Mass Ave. - Science Museum and back along the other side of the river. Raining and windy; pretty crappy weather. Definitely took it a bit too fast. My shins felt like they were working too hard about the time I passed the Science museum, but they felt fine by the time I finished. Legs felt pretty good overall. Should have taken a map with me but didn't think about it. |
