| Green Day 1 at Buttes Pass (Anza Borrego). This is the first map that I've raced on more than once. I'm not sure how much of a difference it really made, but it helped with my confidence going in. I had a good feel for the terrain, especially since I'd just gone on a couple of training runs with Trish at Yaqui Pass and Painted Gorge, both of which have quite similar terrain to Buttes Pass. Without knowing much about the competition, my goal for the weekend was to finish in the top half of runners. My last-minute goal for this race was 1:11, the only finishing time posted before my start - mostly a fun goal because I had no good feel for how long the course should take me. This was really one of my better races in non-trail-interlaced terrain, so despite "booming" one control and making a terrible route choice on another, I was quite happy with my time and place (10th). I even made my 1:11 goal time. =)
Things to work on: 1) Avoiding stupid mistakes by heading out of the control in the right direction. 2) Route choice. I took a shorter route when a longer, safer one would have been faster and then took a longer, safer route when the shorter one would have been the best. 3) Hills kill. I walked a lot of runnable sections because I was just too tired after climbing. | ||

| The sprint race was quite fun, but I was just too tired to race hard. Missed an obviously better route choice on 4, and "wide right" on 10. | ||
