Silva League 1 - Long Distance
There was potential for a really good race today, felt quite strong, but things unraveled right from the start.
After warming up on the 1:10 warm up map it was a big shock to jump into the most complex area at 1:15. Got confused on the way to 1 but recovered kinda quickly. Got to the control but it was the wrong code. Stood there scratching my head for a while and ran off a bit to try and confirm where I was. Finally had the presence of mind to unfold my loose control description and realize that I'd taken the E3 description rather than the E2. Annoyed after that and lost more time to 2. So, was sitting in last place after two controls!
Took a bad route to 4, but was pushing pretty well after that, including the long leg to 9. Another 2min lost to 12 and 13, and on 17 getting confused by the green.
Was running really well through a lot of the course, so frustrating to lose 7-8 minutes. Felt like I couldn't get into a good flow, initiated perhaps by the incident at #1. The terrain wasn't as fast I was hoping, but it was still nice and really fun.
