| Ok so typed up an Analysis for Alexei as part of my training so thought i might as well post it here instead of writing another long thing. However it is super long but oh well. Also Emily gave me a great idea of posting an image of my course with my route on it so you actually know what i'm talking about. so here is the link to my West Point Day 1 map. over all i think i had a very good run though and Also enjoyed the company of Mary for most of it.
Start to 1: (2;45) ran to the left of swamp then drifted to the right hill instead of the left, figured that out and then headed to the left right to the reentrant. 1 to 2: (7:25) Plan was to run along the indistinct path next to the pond, but that got really hard to run on with all the downfall. From that I decided to run a little higher up the hill but went higher then I thought and was a little high running into the control. 2 to 3: (5:33) Again ran along the pond then made sure I crossed three streams before hitting the back side of the right hill. Hit the control almost perfectly on. 3 to 4: (14:32) Probably one of my worst legs because I didnt have a plan for the first half of it. Original plan was to just run to the fire clearing corner and then from there to the left of the swamp then contoured to the hill where the control is. I did basically that, was a little right of the fire clearing corner and went really slowly to there partly because the trees were so close together and I was trying to be really careful not to drift. If I had made a plan and had things to check off I would probably have been able to go a little faster but oh well. 4 to 5: (3:35) plan was to run above the cliffs cross the reentrant and then up to the big cliff. I did just that. 5 to 6: (4:14) Again another leg where I didnt have that great of a plan. Plan was to run on a bearing and trying to pick off the bear rock and the small hill and then drop down to the saddle. I did that and it went ok however if I had a better plan (but I cant see one) it would have been better. 6 to 7: (11:36) Trail run! Ran to the trail and then hardish on the trail until the water stop then slowed down to make sure I would cut in at the right time. That didnt work to well I didnt see the first hill on the map so cut in a little to soon quickly saw that and then made my way over to the second hill to the control. 7 to 8: (11:35) at first glance I couldnt tell what was up and what was down. Went down a reentrant to cross the tricle that is between the big and little swamp, around the back of the small hill then up the hill slightly to go down the reentrant down to the left side of the little pond. Ran up the big reentrant to the left of the pond however while going up that I ended up going to far to the right and had to run back to the left to the control. 8 to 9: (15:07) plan was to run to the right of the small hill to end of the big line of cliffs, then to the right of both swamps up the small reentrant cross the cliff to the small swamp then turn left to run along the stream until a smaller stream joins it, run up that to where it bends to the left and up the reentrant to the cliffs to the control. I did basically that, got a little confused around the ponds as it was more green than I thought it was going to be. Then also when I got to the stream I didnt go all the way to the other stream I run a little bit and just made sure I could see it to my left, hit to lines of cliffs then up the reentrant to the control. 9 to 10: (14:11) had a kinda ok plan for this leg. Was going to contour to the big line of cliffs, find a way down them, Cross a small trail to the stream where there is a small swamp on the other side, up the reentrant to another trail, then up the left side of the spur to the control. That is basically what I did except I went up the right side of the spur instead. 10 to 11: (3:31) ok had no real plan here other than to just drop down to the trail fast and run along there to the control. That is what I did and I think it worked out pretty well. 11 to 12: (0:28) fast sprint into the finish. | ||

Thursday Apr 26 | ||
| walking 30:00 [1] 2.0 mi (14:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony | ||
| Walked to and from the Penn Relays.
I was supposed to run in it (3000m) but we found out the average time for it was about 11mins and i could only run it in 14 when my knee was good. So we opted out of having me run sadly. Next year hopefully i will run. I'm really glad that i didn't run though the winner ran it in 9:34. I also watched the steeplechase for the first time. It was so AWESOME!!! In the first heat the guy who won didn't get wet at all until the last time. It was so cool. and the girls really got pilled up in the water a few fell each time. Thanks Ross for telling me about it or i would never have stayed to watch it. | ||

| FIRST RUN IN TWO MONTHS!!! It felt so good to get out again. Didn't want to run to far as it is the first run and i have a race on Thursday (Penn relays, 2mile, going to be very embarrassing!!!) Knee hurt a little bit but not to much, felt better this weekend when i ran with the ace bandage on so might keep wearing that for a bit. | ||

| FIRST A-MEET GREEN COURSE!!!!
ok so i messed up almost all the controls and wouldn't have found at least 2 without the other 3-5 people looking for the same one. But I finished and thats what counts. I was only about an hourish behind my dad and i learned a lot. start-> #1- clean #1-> #2- almost good but went to far to the right and ended up going all the way down the hill to find it to then ha ve to climb back up to get it #2-> #3- drifted up the hill hill on the right a little bit but figured that out fast which was good. #3-> #4- I had a great plan and the stupid evergreen tress messed me up. I went back to the little swamp at least 3 times before i figured out i just hadn't gone far enough. #4-> #5 - Ok i really don't know how i got to 5, i have a slight idea but not totally sure. I remember crossing the big swamp at where i thought was the right place and it being really deep!!! and then i go to the cliffs and was almost right under the control and was about to cry because i couldn't find it and i felt as if i was on this leg forever!!! but found it along with someone else who showed up. #5-> #6- OK so lets just say i would never have found this control had there not been 4-6 people looking for the same one. My plan was to take a bearing and try and count the hills. That didn't work to well i was a little to far to the left and went to far. but thanks to everyone else looking for it i found it. #6->#7- This was my first totally clean leg. Ran to swamp crossed swamp right before trail crossed it then crossed trail and followed stream to control. #7-> #8- another clean leg. up the trail to the stream left at the stream until the hill right at hill up the reentrant. came up from below. #8-> #9- took a bearing and just drifted to far down the hill #9-> #10- Not totally sure what happened in the beginning. some how passed a swamp and ended up way to far to the right. Figured out where i was fast (near a big swamp next to a tall hill) and ran back to trail to turn right and continue on it until the stream. #10-> all the way to the finish (11,12,13,finish) was clean although i did mess up the finish, never saw the power line. over all very happy with my first a-meet green. I was around an hour behind my dad but i was just happy i finished. I learned a lot!!! | ||

Will write more later when i have map | ||
