| Red course. Small park in Holmdel, course had a map exchange, green was mostly runnable except few places (which wasn't obvious). Had couple mistakes lead into none optimal route choices, but nothing major. Decent race. Earned valuable points for DVOA.
Definetely, it was one of those few races per year when I show some nice performance.

| Don't have enough motivation to go out.
For those who was wondering about what 500 stands for: there were several versions of that magic number. One of them, Batona trail connected both maps is about 50 miles long, so, with some abstraction 'O' became another '0' and we got 500. Another version, hardly achievable, 500 participants :) But the most misterious one has been occurred just one day before the event - Batona folder in my e-mail box reached 500 event related e-mails, which is just a coincident. |

It was more runners like course, was moving pretty good until #12 where I did big bubble. There was an extra trail which gave me hard time ... The thing I noticed, I didn't use my compass today. |

| Just a note: ran second weekend w/out taping ankle and felt very good, even next day. Have to admit that those 2 weekends were on easy terrain. |

| Finaly got a chance to do some training. Tested another pair of new shoes - this time Inov8 Roclite 315. Those are trail running shoes and they fit more like track running shoes, light weight, with good bottom sole traction. So far, I'm satisfied. Will test them at some orienteering events. But they definetely can be easely damaged (I mean upper part) when you run through thorns. Good alternative for O-shoes w/out metal spikes. |

| Business trip again. Was tired for any training.
As I would say "Bad news - good news".
Anyway, sprint courses are finalized with only couple controls required additional field check before moving to a new features. Those are going to be extremely fast courses ("A" - 1.3km/10c, "B" - 1.75km/12c) using best terrain in the area, plus Sprint "A" is a very spectacular friendly:) |
