red course at the Georgia navigator cup. Unfortunelty don't have a picture of the map to put here but there is a route gadget of it up here http://gaorienteering.org/Local_Events/gadget/cgi-...

The course was okay not great. As you can see in the route gadget the first half of the course was pretty bad but once I hit control seven I really started to speed up. Fun race though.


Full anylses

Leg one - pretty good felt confident and fast
2- this leg started good but then I decided to cut off some of the trail. I did this to test the green and also because I thought it save time. When I hit the second trail I was not paying to much attetion and was not sure where I was. This meant when I hit the re enterent I did not know where I was and lost lots of time running up and down it looking.
3- pretty clean over all lost a little time in going down the hill torwards the control but not much
4- again good, looking back may have gone up the wrong re entrant and lost some
5- Not much to say pretty simple leg.
6-I don't really know what happened here the first half of the leg was very clean and I was right on my line. Then I did something and just went the wrong way. Best guess I went around a tree and forgot to fix my compass and just continued. It took me a little while to reoriented loosing me more time.
7- The mistake I made here was a bad line and route after I left the trail. I did not really pay attention to the contours or cliffs after the trail. This meant that when I did make a bad compass I had no way of knowing until it was to late. Looking back my route was also bad because I should have stayed on the trail longer.
8- After seven I kind of change my mindset. I really tried to pick a good fast route I could take that I would not mess up on.This can be seen working in to my success in two ways. The first is that I made no big mistake after this point and the second is that my speed also increased.
9- Going to nine was very clean one of my best legs.
10- I did not mess up anything navigationaly but wondering if my route was the best choice.
11- again a good leg not much to say. Lost a bit of time fighting through the green at the end
12- fast leg, lost a bit of time right before the control due to not knowing presicely where it was
13- I got off my line alittle here because I saw another control and went oo whats that.
14- good
finish - by far the hardest leg running along the marked route was very challenging was not sure if I could do it.

Red - Splits

Traveling

This was not really a real strength workout more of the track team messing around in the wieght room but did do some strength and finished with a core workout

Core work out 1
Was supposed to have run a meet today but had to much studying to do for finals. All I had time for was a quick core workout.

Light run before race

2 sets of six inches planks and pushups

Warm up can cool down

1:20 by 12 with 40 seconds rest.
I tried to do a 400 in each interval.
This was a fairly painful work out. I was really hurting throughout and had very little motivation to put in work. Even with that I still managed to come pretty close to getting a four hundred in the amount of time. I never missed it by more then about 10 meters. My main problem with this workout was I was not timing it, someone else was. This meant my rests were too long and I am not positive I did 12. Besides that and the pain the workout went fine
