Event: WCOC RHINO at Ratlum Mountain
 

Event: JROTC NY/NJ
 

Very nice course by Niels and HVO! My first time on this map, woods were pretty fast and open. Mistake on #4, meant to follow the contour lines but went too high and zig zagged in terrain that all looked the same, before relocating from the path to the south. Lost 6 mins, sloppy.

Route choice to #3 was the big discussion item afterwards. Niels thought a straight route was the fastest, for me I am not so sure as I run much slower in the woods than on roads/paths. I went around on the paths to the north, comparing my time to a few others I believe it was 1-2 minutes faster even though a bit more climb.

Surprised by GPS path to 17, thought I went more straight, clearly would have been faster even with some climb.

Legs felt very heavy. Meant to run 8km but could only manage 5.
Haven't felt this tired running at moderate speed in a long time, weird. Thanksgiving hangover?
Also did 10 mins of intervals at 10-15% incline.
