Usual sucky HR race... Previous day's training actually helped quite a bit, though. Just stupid mistakes (180s, etc) Maybe a stretch, but at the time I was just really pissed about all the time and energy spent putting out epunch fires just before rushing to get started at a reasonable time. Instead of thinking about navigating, I was composing my ultimatum in my head--we're going to start canceling events or going back to pin punch if we don't get more help with running epunch. I didn't sign up to put my orienteering on the back burner in order to supply epunch services to the club on a regular basis. But what part of my run was situationally-induced stupidity and what part was my inherent lack of concentration, I don't know.

Event: DVOA Hickory Run Training Weekend
 

Morning training at HR. Distance estimated. Lots of short legs on a contour-only map. Good training, but more running that I had planned on. Already beat by the afternoon.

Sprint training at HR. Previously used for Sprint Series final. Didn't push too hard and was weighed down with soggy/heavy CD trail shoes from the morning training--but still did reasonably well against the usual competition. Hopefully a good warmup for next weekend.

Bollinger block Still working on relaxed form and pace. Not too tiring, but lots of little aches and pains. Tomorrow off to drive to HR.

Around the block, practicing relaxation at higher speeds (in ~200m intervals)
