NAOC Long. All the long. Made a couple bobbles on 1&2 as i went out too hard. but got into it and was solid till 9. Chose poorly on the long leg the blew 12, started to die on the way to 13 and was full on walking on the way to 15. I've never been too tired to run in a race before. I was way way too tired. I couldn't think straight by the end and was hobbling along like an old man.

Very disappointing and embarrassing. I've been doing well in the longs lately and thought I was in good enough shape to handle it. Perhaps I didn't taper correctly. Oh well, I didn't want to be a long guy anyway :p

The TG effect strikes again. Two years from now we'll have to do it differently.

C • NAOC Long 4

Long - Blue (WRE) - Splits

Event: North American Orienteering Championships 2016
 

NAOC Middle. As always fast and steady wins the race but I suppose sometimes slow and steady is good enough for second :D. My first forest NAOC medal and first as an adult (I got bronze in the sprint in 2008). Needless to say I'm pretty happy.

This race still could have been cleaner, I bobbled in the circle a fair bit. And faster, I only came in the top 3 on 3 legs.

I doubt it would have changed the result but I'm still a bit disappointed by the TG effect. Wish they'd started him in a fair for everyone spot.

Middle - Blue - Splits

WET dogbones in Yaletown - Legs felt a bit sore from the weekend still

Ran the Diaz Vistas trail with a big crew for the pos-wedding celebration run.
A hard run uphill and then a bit of a race at the end made for some tough running. Awesome day and fun to go see a new area that's close to home
