| Blue day 2 at UNO Beaver Brook. Taped my arches again, which were OK until the leg from 17-18, so I slowed down a bit there and didn't have any more trouble. Navigationally was much cleaner than yesterday, mostly lost time from only concentrating for short periods of time, so having to spend 15 seconds reading the map every 75m or so in some places. Only made one major error, on #5, and some micro route-choice errors. |

| Blue course at UNO beaver brook. Was going pretty well (although in hindsight small-scale sloppy) through #8, then went high on #9 through some logged areas, then drifted on #12 and lost a bunch of time, slow through the technical area, though no major problems until the logged area on the way to 16, where I spent >5min trying to find my trail. Then ran the wrong way along the marsh on the way to 17, and finally totally blew #20, basically because I took a stupidly risky route choice. Actually that characterizes a number of my mistakes. Horribly out of practice. Probably >20min of mistakes.
On the up side, I felt in pretty good shape. Didn't really run out of energy until I got a little tired after climbing to 17. But was still able to keep up a good pace. I didn't push enough mentally, though. There were places I walked where I probably should have run. Less so than usual, though. All in all, an OK run, but kind of disappointing navigationally. Arches felt good. I taped them, though I don't know how much that helped. I think wearing the asics was a good move on that front. |
