Cycling almost home - got a flat close enough to home that I preferred walking the rest of the way to staying out in the rain putting in a new tube.

Clearly picked up some sort of respiratory illness over the weekend.

US Trials long - poor result. Initially, I thought I must have been inexplicably slower than I'd expect but, looking at the splits, the mistake I knew I made on 7 was much larger than I thought and I also lost significant time on both 3 and 4, despite executing without noticeable problems. Looking at the map, I think I can see what would have been better routes in both cases but I'm still a bit shocked at how much better they apparently were. Must draw my route and look at others routes to confirm. A pity to make three big mistakes in a WRE but less depressing in terms of implications for the remainder of the season than if I had been clean and deathly slow despite ample opportunity to recover since the previous day's race.

Long Blue - Splits

US Trials middle - acceptably good race technically (Winsplits only sees one error to 4 though I feel 14 should have been one also), pretty bad physically, with no ability to run fast up even gradual uphills. Lacking other explanations, I'll chalk that up to the stress of doing the model event in the rain the previous evening and then taking not quite enough clothing into my sleeping bag with me overnight.

Middle Blue - Splits

Event: US Team Trials & Return to Boggs Mountain A Meet
 

US Trials sprint - good race except for boneheadedly getting sucked over to the highly visible other course go control 50 meters beyond my go control and having to run back to mine.

Sprint 3 - Splits

Cycling to work.

C • BG 1

Cycling to work by way of Cardiovascular Consultants again. Directly home in the evening. Rained all day so didn't even attempt to do form exercises.
