shoes: x-talon212
Easter day 3
After the last two days I'd felt as if I'd been navigating on the ragged edge a bit, and didn't think that strategy would work over 15km so went into the race a bit more relaxed. Evidently this was a bit too relaxed, because after cruising to the first control while taking in the rest of the course and finding good gel locations, completely switched off on the way to #2, losing 3 minutes. started to get going better once out on the long leg, but was always playing catch up with the map a bit (especially with those unresponsice SI units), and second guessing my route choices. Didn't really feel fully connected with the map until towards #13. Cramped up while pushing really hard to the finish in the last 8 or nine controls with some nice splits, just getting ahead of craney at #19.
