18c shoes: Silva Pro Lite
Day 2 of the US Champs...unfortunately did not run as well as I had wanted to. I had hoped to run at about 1:30, but had quite alot of error (22 min worth). I actually found today's course to be much more technically challenging even though the woods were more open and the green on the map more forgiving. I was definetly fighting my compass today as well and kept running off my bearing - which on at least 2 legs cost me over 10 min of error. But I would say that I had about 1-2min of error on about half my controls and that was usually traveling to the control, once I was within the control circle I was usually right on. Considering that I am unaccustomed to racing 3 days in a row I was also just tired and couldn't seem to maintain speed which never helps one's time.
Overall though it was a fantastick weekend and I am so glad that I got to see some faces that I haven't seen for some time that I missed quite dearly.
