Event: GAOC Georgia Navigator Cup Sprint: University of West Georgia
 

Jogging about and a few pick-ups to warm up. No watch - estimated.

GA Navigator Cup Sprint on U of West Georgia campus. Green X, 2.6k, 90m. Typical campus with dispersed buildings and extensive network of paths and roads. Many of the buildings have complex shapes and a few have multi-layer features. Some hilliness.

Ugh. One monstrous error, two "big-for-a-sprint" errors and a couple of smaller ones. Almost 5 minutes of lost time. The biggest error was when I failed to check the code when punching 7 and actually punched 10. Fortunately, I did read the code on the control as I punched and then remembered it as I approached 10 after having visited 8 and 9. After an expletive or two, I realized I needed to visit 7 and re-do 8 and 9. So I did 6-10-8-9-7-8-9-10-11. Fortunately, it was a small loop (and I passed 7 on the way from 10 to 8 but didn't realize it. Plus, coming from 6 I couldn't see and decipher the multi-layer stuff so took an unnecessarily long route to 7/10. At least I spiked 8 and 9 both times I visited them, but lost 3 full minutes for the whole escapade.

Very good course by Fred Zendt and quite a fine day for running - low 50s and sunny (shorts and short sleeves!). Thanks to GAOC and all the volunteers for their efforts.

Back to parking from event center.

Green-X - Splits

Up a hill and back down. Mid 30s.

On roads from home. Wintery - upper 20s with a breeze. A few easily avoidable areas of ice, otherwise dry roads. AP calculated only 26m of climb, probably because all the climbs are in the 5-10m range and it uses a 10m threshold. I adjusted it.

Neighborhood. 30F, sunny, slight breeze. A few spots of snow and ice on the roads.
