Long Distance at POM day 4
Solid run in the mass start. I had a bad blister on my ankle from the shoe that was rubbing raw and messing with my stride. I wasn't able to lead the pack like I wanted to. But I was there for a while. Until I took a stupid route to six and lost them.
Error time: 4:19
Errors:
-Bad entry into six.
-Hit the wrong rock at 21
Causes:
-Both were next to controls from the previous day. I assumed that I knew what the area was like and where the control was. I did not and suffered because of that laziness.
Solutions:
-Take each leg as it is. Read the map. Previous knowledge may not help you, but reading the map does.
I lost time also on 7, 8 and 11. 7 and 11 were due to my ankle getting rubbed waaaaaay too much. It was especially painful on the uphills. For 8 I had to go out of my way because a man came out of the house, told me to "fuck off" and "get off [his] property." I figured a water stop wouldn't be a bad idea there considering how badly I cramped up yesterday.
