US Champs - Sprint.

Time lost:

#10 - 1:15

After visiting model for the sprint I guessed it's going to be tough to run in such terrain even model wasn't the best part of the woods. And that proved on the way to #1 where I went straight line, but didn't have any problems. A little hesitant on the way to #2, didn't want to run hard. Missed a bit #4, probably 15-20m to the right. Approaching #5 saw Angelica leaving it toward #6 (she started 2 minutes in front of me). Punched #5 and ran toward #6, but was pushed in the green to the right of straight line and missed flag by 10m or 15m? Ran to far, turned around, ran back toward #5, stopped somewhere in between, saw indistinct trail, turned around and ran toward #6 once again this time keeping to the left side of the top hill. Almost missed the flag again ... but saw it just on time. #7-8 were easy enough. Then was the biggest mistake on the long leg: took a rough bearing and headed toward #10. Read map and knew I have to cross trail, stream, ride, and trail parallel to it before climbing up the hill. And everything matched, except I was slightly off straight line. And as result, climbed wrong hill. Could not find the flag where it suppose to be, instead saw some ditches. Spent half a minute before I realised what happened. But time lost was too big at that point. Rest of course went w/out problems, just slower than it could be. Also, was tired by the end. No wonder, lack of proper training.

ahr:163 max:173 20c shoes: VJ Integrator 2007
DVOA meet @ Green Lane, Red course.

Official distance 7.7km.

Similar performance as yesterday, no big problems, but not clean. Took few safe route choices like trails. The "biggest" time lost near #15 in the green surronded with boulders and looking for mapped rootstock among few more unmapped. Sloppy on the way to #18 plus got stuck in green near control. Slow approaching #2 and near #3, lost a bit at #6 (where I saw flag but could not believe it was already mine), slowed down just before #9 and whole way toward #10. Other than that, no problems, except the biggest one - out of shape.

DVOA meet @ Washington Crossing SP, Red course.

Official distance 6.3km.

What to say? Had few small, really small bubbles. Sloppy on the way to #1 and #11, not optimal route through some nasty green (turned a bit too early) on the way to #12. Everything else sort of Okay, may be just 5-10sec. hesitance here and there, nothing major.
