Event: ROC - Ellison Park [2009 Club Sprint Series #1]
 

Ellison Score-O - 1 hr time limit. Pretty much got smoked on this one and I am not sure yet if it was poor route planning or just being slow. Mike and Randy beat me pretty handily and Rob S. probably still would have beaten me even if he hadn't taken an illegal swim to number 14. As it was he was assessed an arbitrary penalty and finished behind me. Fortunately for him it was upstream of the dog 'park'

I was bothered by cramps for the last 3 controls but probably didn't lose more than 1 or 2 minutes by changing my gait and stopping a couple times to stretch. I hit the controls quite well with a only slight hesitation at #24. From above I wasn't sure if I was coming down the right spur and overshot just a touch.

Ellison Sprint - A much better performance than in the Score-O and I managed to beat everyone out (well, at least in part because Nate and William were absent). No real problems except at #11 which was on top of a low spur that was quite green and had a couple trails up it nose. After missing the trails and heading up the adjacent reentrant 20m, I thought I would bushwhack up the side of the spur. Big mistake. By the time I was down Randy was 50m in front of me and we had been standing in the re-entrant together.

ROC Sprint Series #1 - Ellison Park - Splits

Fit a run in between the parade and the picnics - out along the Crescent Trail south of the canal and back along the north side via Cobbs Lane. Trail sections were a little soft, but nothing problematic.
