I didn't ever really feel comfortable on the map for this event. Poor route choice on 1 made me push hard on 2 to make time up. Got off course and messed up an easy control. #3 was the 2nd longest leg, ended up 250 meters west of the control, swallowed my pride and asked an older woman for location assistance at her control. She helped me, I reset and immediately ran 180 degrees off course. The next few points went OK, until the longest leg (#8) which I boomed as well. Completed the rest of the course without incident. Not the result I wanted but a fun end and course to complete the weekend.

C • splits ?? Go control to finish ?? 2

Helped with control retrieval on the western side of the course. 4 of 6 controls were on the Red course. Amazing how easy they are to find when you walk and have been there before......

Red Day 2 - Splits

US Nationals 40+ Event. My first A meet event. I really enjoyed this race. Once I got on the map, I stayed on it fairly well. Minor difficulties on the long legs, but the same minor difficulties on the short legs cost me more. Made a mistake on 16 that I will never repeat. I ran past the "go" control, thinking that the finish was my last control. Rookie mistake. I've posted the same on FaceBook, etc. Hopefully someone will learn from this gaff.

Red Day 1 US Champs - Splits

Event: US Individual Champs 2009
 

A short tune up for the Saturday Nats. Very slippery. I ran in Goretex Salomon's and was upside down several times. Kept the pace down to keep from killing myself. No official time. I was right around 60 minutes.
