| DVOA meet at Brandywine, Blue course.
What to say, it wasn't my ordinary run; all mistakes were very small, mostly hesitation near controls. Felt good, some times a little bit slower, some times ran faster, especially on the trails. And as result - good performance led for a win at local meet. Should do print-screen from club ranking page for future memoirs. |

| HVO meet at Silvermine (Harriman SP), Blue.
Weather conditions didn't promise anything good: heavy rain overnight, wet footing, cold wind. Plus club didn't expect so many participant on the Blue course and ran out of maps. Fortunately, got some sort of master map with extra controls on it. Connected right ones to make a blue course. At that moment I said myself to be extra careful cause there are extra controls on the map. But this didn't help: ran to 3 additional controls, they were close to the straight line, but couple of them really affected my route. Made two mistakes, one ~2 min. and another - probably 10 min. or so.
Anyway, it was good navigational training, good preparation for the West Point meet. |

| HVO meet at Silvermine, Sprint.
Ran sprint after completion of Blue course, 2 min. of rest or so. Started pretty good, but then approaching #4 couldn't believe it's the right feature: boulder was located too far from field and almost in the stream. Stopped, turned around, ran back to the field, looked at map, ran back and this time looked behind boulder. And Bingo!!! But that was just beginning. Crossed same stream second time which wasn't pleasant in such weather conditions. Then there was #5, vegitation didn't match map at all, almost missed control. Now I was looking at the next control and didn't like it: there was same stream crossing again, but this time water was deeper. 6-7-8 didn't have problems, but was tired and ran slowly. #9 - the route through parking space looked more attractive, headed toward it and hit same stream once again. This time it looked uncrossible, could not see bottom. At that point I lost any kind of motivation. Found place to cross stream on my left ~50m away of original point, ran through parking lot, and hit stream again. "Noski". Crossed stream in less deeper water, a little bit over my knee. 9-10-11 went w/out problems.
Conclusion: crossed same stream 5 times! What kind of sprint is that?! O-Swimming?! |
