Event: DVOA Sprint & Reverse Chasing Sprint (Green Lane)
 

Warmup for Sprint at Green Lane in Pennsylvania.

A very fast sprint race at Green Lane in Pennsylvania. I felt great, and was very focused throughout the race. I only made one small error late in the race when I ran out of a control without really planning the leg. It was a short leg, and I just dropped out to a trail when I should have gone straight. I don't think I lost more than 15 seconds though. Overall a great race.

Just trying to stay warm and loose between the races.

A re-run of the sprint course, with everyone starting based on their time from the first run. We ran it backwards, and I started last. I basically ran out as fast as I could to catch Wyatt who started 15 seconds in front of me. I caught him right away, but it took me a few controls before I could pass him, and then I couldn't get rid of him, so we ran the rest of the course together, taking turns leading. It was fun to re-run it backwards, and I was surprised at the amount of time I knocked off my original time. I didn't think I had lost that much time. I think the main reason for my faster time the second time around was that I didn't really have to navigate at all and so I was able to run a little bit faster. It is interesting to see the time difference between running a course while navigating and running it when you know where you are going.

Cool down run with Gregory.

Warmup jog to the start.

A nice window-o on Silvermine. I ran very hard and 2 mistakes. One of them I just wasn't paying attention to my bearing, and missed the window completely. I was lucky enough to hit a trail that happened to go through the window, and I was able to realize where I had actually gone after I started paying attention to my bearing.

The other mistake was just a stupid mistake when I hit the window. I ran a trail into the window, but the trail just barely missed the window, so I was a little confused when I got there, but I relocated quickly.

Overall a very nice excersize, but I wasn't wearing high socks, and the blueberry bushed ripped up my ankles.

After being ripped up by the blueberry bushes, I decided to just do a trail run instead of heading cross-country again. I ran with Paul Bennett for about 15 minutes, and then I picked up the pace a bit on my own. My legs felt really good today.
