| Middle distance at Hickory Run - DVOA Chasing the Star event. Good course by Sandy F. Visibility reduced by leaf out of the understory, An OK run with about 5 minutes of errors total. Overshot the first control and got hung up in some thicker stuff getting to #3 (getting from the pond I found first to the pond with the flag on it). Lost 3 minutes on #7 by drifting to the left and then getting confused when the terrain wasn't what I expected. (I had punched at #6 just ahead of Stanislav, who had started 3 min ahead of me and apparently let it distract me. So I immediately gave back the 3 minutes and he ended up 14 sec ahead for the day.) Good weather - 70's and sunny. 1st in M55, 6th on Green X. |

| Sprint on Lehigh University campus at DVOA Chasing the Star event. Confirming an observation I made on my first visit to the Lehigh campus in April 2005 - "This would be a great place for a sprint." Good course set by Randy, mostly downhill and using the terrain well. A good run except for about 30 seconds lost on leg 12 where I couldn't see for sure if I could get through any of the passageways between a row of buildings so changed course and took the safe way around (there were ways to get through). Also had a few hesitations on legs 6 and 7, probably due to oxygen debt. Could've been about 50 seconds faster overall. 1st M55, 3rd overall on OrBrGr course. |
