US Relay Champs, Mendon Ponds. Nobody else from my club showed up, so I was a hired gun for an ineligible 12-pt team, running anchor leg after Thayer Raines, Betsy Hawes, and Candice Raines. Went out in the mass start (not surprising), and only one of my errors cost any significant time. Achieved some of my goals: ditch everybody else who was in the mass start, don't be the last one back from my team, etc.

Event: US Middle Distance and Relay Champs
 

Middle-Distance Champs at Letchworth, fairly pathetic performance by this defending champion. Lost probably something like 4 minutes on my three errors, and If I had been 43 minutes and change, I would have felt a lot better about this, so that's a fairly narrow band between not bad and not good. It was also hot (and I had a late start). Letchworth had large flat areas separated by abruptly steep slopes, a series of terraces. The slopes were steep enough that I had to walk, and then when I got up on top, I'd have exerted enough that I had to keep walking for at least a bit to recover. All that made for not so much running.

Sprint at Letchworth. My only "error" was going the wrong direction around a building to get to the flag, which would count as an error only in a sprint. Still hot, but this elt a little better than the morning.

Red - Splits

Sprint 3 - Splits

To the post office, then around the Highland loop and down to the lake, did the Cliifview/Brookview hammerhead and back up the hill. Getting pretty jerky by the end, and finally lost it and hopped off while coming up the final steep pitch maybe 100 meters from the end of the driveway. Longest unicycle ride I've ever done (though with a brief stop). Still some snow piles down at the bottom of the hill. Totally gorgeous weather today.

Time is a guess for carrying equipment out to launch. One flight.
