Trail Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.5 km (10:00 / km)
O - competition race (Truckee green long) 1:29:33 [4] 8.2 km (10:55 / km)
Much cleaner run today. Eastern extension of yesterday's map. More climb, several longer legs with route choices.
Stayed too high going to 2, not a long leg, 300m, but ended up well above it. Ran out the pace count and saw the shelf down below where the control was located. 2 min lost.
To 4 ran along rim of hillside to rock cluster, but headed down to control too soon. Found another control and knew I was 100 m short. So fought across the hillside and lost maybe 1 min.
Everything else was quite clean. Good attack points and pace counting. Fortunately got away without having to navigate using the dubious forest clearings. Mainly relied on contours and major vegetation boundaries, and the occasional meter high rocks on the map.
Liked the courses and the terrain for the weekend. No issues with altitude, although for sure it compromised my running speed. Two firsts and a second for the days, with an overall M60 win for the event.
