Leg comments in the splits... One fastest split, one 2nd fastest. Certainly improvement over yesterday.... Though I hammered the finish chute and still doesn't seem that fast. Wonder if the boxes were out of sync?

13th of 53 on GreenX. 6th place M50+ among US eligible for the weekend. And podium was in reach without the navigation fiascos, particularly yesterdays. Here's hoping for focus next weekend...

C • last control 1

Sunday - Green X - Splits

Event: 2016 US Two-Day Classic Championships and Sprint Relay
 

1- slow, hesitant and quite left of line
2 - ok
3 - departed control too far left, down wrong rentrant before correction
4 - again with the left upon leaving control - sloppy map alignment? Wonky compass? And again after crossing trail..
5 - no surprise upon review left again... then trails and clean to finish..
6 - left again, though this time it was mostly my intention to avoid rock/cliffs near control, but perhaps not quite that wide to left
7 - this one about as planned, around hill, but a bit of confusion on trail
8 - my big error - plan was to cross marsh at distinct dot knoll, misread and crossed early - yup, to the left... floundered far too long checking various small rentrant and apparently in the circle twice before relocating on trail.
9 - shaken from 8 - cautious and amazingly enough, straight
10 - considered trail wide, but went straight, crappy slow footing in first half, trail would have been better. Execution of route was fine.
11 - after slow going on 10, I elected to avoid marsh, barberry and stony ground and go wide right. Executed fine, but probably not fastest option.
12 - plan was to skirt upper margin of barberry and drop, executed fine.
13 - saw green hatch on hill, quickly decided trail around. Pulled up and stopped when arena area taped off - out of bounds? Brain too fried to realize the tape was to keep non- runners out of terrain, not runners out of arena... oops.. ran to final control up through finish, though I intentionally did not go through the tent/chute until after the go control.

Felt good the whole run, but a lot of errors early, almost exclusively due to leaving control to left.... Have to figure out why before next weekend. This weekend is obviously shot
