Event: OCIN / FAST-O Armco Park
 

Extremely fast sprint course at Armco. The course was a blast, and was a great opportunity to get a good running workout. Armco was an excellent venue for this kind of meet, and Steve did a really nice job of course setting.

I made two mistakes that together probably cost me the 6 seconds that I was behind Steve. I got lured away from my line on #7 by seeing #8 and by not seeing the paved road below. From #9 to #10, I accidentally took a few steps down the road in my attempt to get around the green. Another possible mistake was the route choice out of #11. I never saw the trail along the water and never considered it as an option, but it might have been a bit faster. (Although looking at the splits -- e.g., Vector [who took the trail] vs. dersu [who didn't] -- on that leg, maybe it wasn't)

Another great blazingly-fast sprint course at Armco. I took a long break between courses, and still ran the second on ('shorter') at what seemd lik a much slower pace. I'm guessing that the fact that my per-k speed was faster on this course than the other is more indicative of the route veering relatively less off the straight line than it is to actually running faster.
