Team Trials, Day 1, Sprint.

Official distance 2.98km.

Well, hoped for better result. Unfortunately, I was a bit slower and mistake on the way to #1 did help at all. Then two bad route choices, #4 and #9, added vital seconds to total time.

At least I could sprint out from last control :)

West Point, Day 2.

Official distance 8.46km.

Same as yesterday, was only couple minutes before my start time. Warmed up on the way to the start. So, started slow. Probably that helped me to navigate through the course without any mistakes. There were only couple hesitations near controls or here and there. I have nothing to report :) Nice course at nice terrain. At least course setter avoided the steepest hill.

So far it was my best and most clean run at Harriman/West Point terrain.

West Point, Day 1.

Official distance 7.48km.

Warmed up on the way to the start from bus drop off area. Got just on time when my start minute was called. Started very careful trying to adjust to the map and terrain and also prevent my knee from further injuries.

Stopped short on the way to #2. Then not so optimal route to #6, but I found control w/out problems. Slow on the way to #8-9. Small mistake near #14 where I ran to other control (only to check number cause I knew it wasn't my). Some time lost near #15.

Basically, no major problems, just few small bubbles. But was slow ...

West Point, Sprint.

Nice course by PG. It was hard to see course on the map. Ran slower toward #1 trying to match map and terrain. Then almost missed #2 when I ran to #3 but stopped halfway between 2 and 3. No problems later. Stopped early after going under barracks on the way to #10. Same problem near #20 but lost more time.
