Good race overall, I had a good pace throughout the race, my only regrets are not picking the best route on number one, misreading a trail intersection on two, recrossing the bridge back to three, and picking up an unmapped trail to six. You can notice that a lot of my mistakes happened at the beginning of the race. That means I got better as the race went on, but it also means I need to slow down and settle into the race a bit. I had a good time though.

Tiring race, especially off the back of the middle. The first half of the map was a lot more foresty and had a lot more climb, and it was tough to carry speed into the second half of the race. It seems I managed to keep enough speed to get a goal placing, staying less than 10-20 seconds ahead of Peter and Austin. I'm happy with my performance. I did make one route choice mistake on number 2, another example where I need to think more at the beginning.

This is some difficult stuff. Found it hard to really get into the map and I kept finding control locations but it would take me a minute to find the control. Good thing there's another training.

A lot better, went a little slower but I'm starting to understand the map a little better. I hit a lot of the controls, I missed #3 and found #4 thinking it was #3, made it awkward when I found Martin's dad heading to #5. Then I got within 10-20 meters of the control but I swear I didn't see it, so I spent several minutes standing still trying to figure where exactly I was. The thing is I was exactly where I suspected but the hill in front of me seemed too steep compared to the map. I relocated to the top of the hill and ran the spur, immediately finding it. Oh well.

What a joke. Coach wasn't there, and we managed a half decent warmup and 20 minutes of scrimmage before a few of our players decided they would rather just shoot on the goal in the middle of our scrimmage because the game was too boring. Not sure how that works or why they're playing this sport. Left with four players willing to do some actual training, we played a 3 v 1 one touch possession game, a passing/volleying drill our coach taught us, and we ended on a 2 vs 2 scrimmage on small goals. Meanwhile half the team that was shooting leaves practice to do homework. This was a scheduled practice, and we were supposed to use it, this isn't some Sunday league. Talk about discipline, this team has just about none.

I played a bit for the 17s as a center midfielder, finally my favorite position. I must have done well because coach didn't sub me out for his favorite player for quite a while. It also helped that I scored their first goal in 9 games. One of the 17 year olds, also manages to get a goal, but the other team got 3. However, a 3-2 loss is far better than the 4-0 and 3-0 loss from the previous two days.

The big game. Chicago Fire junior team Premier. We expected to get a smashing. We held them off for a really long time, but eventually their efficient passing wore us down and they got a goal. These guys were great passers. They had five quick, agile, clinical runners and five distributors. We held on to that until half tike, so we were doing great. Now what happened next is absolutely ridiculous. The ball went out for a throw in, and the other team went and got the ball and took a free kick from the line. That doesn't even make any sense. The referee blew his whistle and made a throw in motion, so they brought the ball back to the line. Then they took another free kick. What? Our team was confused and they passed straight through our team and into the goal. Our coach and the other team's coach (that's how stupid it was) flipped out at the red, and his explanation was: your player pushes the ball and it went out. He literally defined a throw in. 2-0. Okay. Three minutes later we equalize so ots back on track, but it should have been tied at 1-1. We go in again and again. Our forward misses a blatant chip. Our midfielders can't keep the ball for the life of them. And then they sealed the game with a meg through our keeper's legs. 3-1. Whatever. We played great.
