West Point A-Meet- Day 2: Long Event
A hot and a bit sticky as well. Upper 80's DegF. Off to a great start!! when I realized at the start line that I did not have my compass, so got a later start as a compass is really needed in this terrain. Clean to 1, misread the map on the route I selected to 2 thinking there was a trail when it stopped very quickly. The other options involved some green which turned out possibly the better option. A little to the north around control at 3. Slow along the ridge to 5 and down the the edge of the boulderfield on the first part to 6. Once through the fence it was nice running 6,7,8 and the first part up to 9. For 10 took the road option. Clean to 11, slowish to 12, tough underfoot to 13, fast to 14, then the big mistake. Somehow did not go straight to trhe finish, but when arond the lake. What should have taken 45 seconds took 2.38!! Apart form that felt orienteered okay except not thinking far enough ahead.
A good w/e.

Event: USMA West Point A-Meet 2010
 

West Point A-Meet - Day 1: Middle Distance Race - Lake Popolopen
Hot day low 80's degF
Slow start to get into map and slight mistake at #1, when I was a bit short and below control (lost 20secs). Clean 2,3,4,5. 5-6 left the trail lower than I thought and ended up doing a parallel error. Discovered the mistake when I thought I should be at the control and I noticed a large cliff below me and realized my error. (-2min). Clean rest of course. Bar that one mistake, happy with the run.

West Point A-Meet - Day 1: Sprint Event Camp Buckner
A nice mixture of some woods with around the barrack buildings and the camp. A fun course. With Alison starting 3 minutes behind me the pressure was on, so pushed hard the whole way. Only one slight mistake at # 6 which cost about 10 secs. Alison made an error art 13/14 so managed to beat her and a rare occiasion Peter Gagarin, who earleir said he was not in shape - he still had one of the fastest times!

Green X Middle Distance - Splits

Or/Br/Gr Sprint - Splits

Evening run in the Wissahickon while Heather had volleyball. Started at Springside school down to Valley Green then headed south 2.5 miles. Nice for a change and despite a lousy nights sleep pushed hard listening to Ian Dury & The Blockheads on the way out and Blondie on the way back. Pushed hard on the way back especially the last mile to Valley Green
7.14 down to Valley Green.
7.40, 7.45, 3.42, (0.32 rest), 3.52, 7.31, 7.03
A good run, now all I need to lose a chunk of weight.
