Billygoat Sprint 1.

Beginning of the race was w/out big problems, but after #4 something happened and I got completely off my route to #5. It's hard to explain. The only thing I can say: I was running away from #5 toward #6. Then I figured it out (seeing pond on my left!?) and somehow relocated to the correct trail, hit #5 w/out problem but race was done, lost too match time, so, was just jogging for the rest of the course and hoped to do better on the second sprint.
Orienteering race 15:22 [4]**** 2.35 km (6:32 / km) +45m 5:58 / km
ahr:160 max:170 5c slept:7.5 shoes: VJ Integrator 2005
Billygoat Sprint 2.

What can I say? There are days when you should stay home and don't go out and run in the woods. Maybe the magic number 13 has some bad influance on me. Anyway, once again really bad run, lost 2 min. at #2 where Boris got me, tried to stay with him, but it wasn't my day ... lost more approaching #4.

"Never give up" - yes, I found all controls, result is really bad, but I finished race.

Sprint #1 (Yellow) - Splits

Sprint #2 (Green) - Splits

Nice slow recovery run.

P.S. Right ankle hurts, but not too bad (doesn't bother if I run on flat) - it was serious stress for it during last weekend. Taping definetely helped to prevent more damage. Upcomming Billygoat will be the last hard race this month. Then will start preparation for the rogaine, one of them ...

Sunday May 7

Trail-Grass Running warm up/down 15:00 [2]
slept:6.0 shoes: VJ Integrator 2005
West Point, Day 2.

Warmup before race, didn't have enough time due to the first start time.
Orienteering race 1:44:00 [3]***** 12.45 km (8:21 / km) +440m 7:06 / km
ahr:142 max:158 22c slept:6.0 shoes: VJ Integrator 2005
West Point, Day 2, Blue course at Deep Hollow map (9.58km/440m).

I got the first start time of the day, which happened for me first time. Never opened orienteering race before:) But it looks I really like to run alone in the woods.

A bit slow start for the first 3 controls. Was stuck in green on the way to #6 (lost ~30sec.). Then there were three controls on the hillside of the biggest mountain in the area. Plus there are so many rocks and cliffs on it ... Tried to be very carefull, but missed #8 a little bit (was slightly lower), #9 was Okay, and then lost at least 10 min. at #10: basically, I was 10-15m higher standing at the bottom of other cliff but could not see anything through the thick vegitation (young green trees). Spent awhile trying to relocate which was extremely tricky. Went down, below right cliff and saw control from there - climbed back several contours. Rest of the course did match better, sometimes slowing down in control circles. The only exception #16 where I was confused and lost another 1:30-2 min.

Was 5th overall, lost 16 min. to a leader.

Blue 2 - Splits
