Early in the morning, test-ran the course (originally planned 5.7 km) for the first day of the
Team Fundraiser. It took
soooo long... so, had to
revise the courses.
(Put "* * Topo / Simplified" as the technical rating because I had visited most of the control locations before. The course I ran this day was on the unrevised map, with most of the locations being the same as the final ones, but #1, #7, and the next-to-last control were moved to newly-remapped point features.)
Got the same hyperventilation problem as at the
Golden Goat and on the long
trail run at Oak Mountain in November, started to feel it around Control 12 (which I never found and which was subsequently eliminated), after about 34 minutes of running at Intensity 4. The rest of the course was at about Intensity 2.5. Too scared for my life to move faster.
