Up.

Warm-up map

I started out fairly slowly just trying to get into the map. All I had was the warm-up map because I never had a chance to do the model. It took me a while to get into it, and then on my way to number 8 I got distracted by Ian and forgot to check my compass. I drifted left, and the extra distance and hesitations lost me about four minutes. On the bright side, after that point I wanted to make up time, and my flow became a lot better, so the rest of the course was very fast and clean. Would have qualified for WOC if I just checked my compass, though...

Middle - Course 10 - Splits

2 people got hit in the face and started bleeding today. Haven't had that happen before.

Feeling pretty sick. No energy, stuffed nose, coughing... Definitely not good for the week before NAOC.

Getting more sick.

I think it was 15 minutes...

Aside from a little trouble on 1, I ran pretty fast with very few mistakes. I chose a bad route to 7, thinking the trail would be faster than the woods, but I think I lose about 1:30 going the extra distance, so that wasn't worth it. Then on number 8 I was looking for a steep re-entrant just before the control, but I must have been too low where the re-entrant was too broad, but I still managed to run right past the control and think it wasn't mine. That lost me another couple minutes, which was super frustrating. All-in-all, not my best weekend...
