Event: GOC Urban 1
 

3: Could have probably gone below the building and then up the slope. (5)
4: Got stuck at the top of the stairs with the fence :P. (10)
14: Stopped too early because I thought that the control was on the building. (5)
17: Could have gone out earlier and run along the road and parking lot. Ended up going through registration, not particularly ideal. (5)
21-24: Felt that the maze was not very difficult, being tall meant that you could easily see the route to the next control, even without planning it on your map.
28: Didn't run over the hill for this control and decided to take the faster (in my eyes) route through the buildings, would like to see the splits.
30: Could have cut across the grass and run below the swimming pool. (5)

Not a bad start to the sprint season. Wasn't much room to really open up. Need to work on good acceleration out of the controls. Could quite easily plan ahead on the day which was good (was always one control ahead). I'm sure that it helps with it being my old school, but I did have good flow into and out of controls :).

Men - Splits

Never let your old coach encourage you :P.

2 x 600 (1:40, 1:42)
2 x 400 (1:10, 1:04)

Started off way too hard and couldn't really hold that pace. Felt terrible on the third 600 so stopped early and made it a 400. Was planning an easier session with Sunday in mind, but 4 x 600 was the original plan...

Reasonable run. Wasn't feeling great just through halfway... really slowed down after that. Felt a little bit better towards the end though. Abdominal cramps are not ideal...

Managed to clear the first map quite easily and then swapped over onto the second map. Just missed two on the way back up.

5 x 4 mins (90 seconds jog)
