Team Trials, Day 2, Middle.

Official distance 5.54km.

Preview of competition map didn't promise an easy orienteering. I never ran in such terrain, very complicated. Really bad route to #1, lost some time near #2, bad route to #3 and #4. Then it was better for several controls. Again, bad route to and near #8, missed a bit #9, absolutely dumb execution of #11. Too many mistakes ...

Trail-Grass Running warm up/down 45:00 [2]

Long warmup before sprint.

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.

C • 2nd place aint bad... 3
