B meet at Morningside. Focused on doing better compass bearings, which worked out until I felt confident in where I was going, and that's when I completely kajiggered up. Seems a healthy sense of paranoia will help my performance.

Screwed up on 5, 8, and 11. I'm fairly certain on 11 I was within 10 feet of the control. Stupid deadfall.

A training course at Terwilligar. I wish I had A) my sock gaitiers, and b) my real gaiters. However, pulling thorns out of my knees is kind of fun.

Oh, also, I navigated relatively well, except for the last couple metres near the control.

Nike Free run. Felt fine, knee starting to act up around finishing time. To be expected.

Wednesday night meet.

Long course - ~6.81 running distance. Went the wrong way coming out the woods on one control, which was dumb. A fair amount of stopping for 2 controls, which toned down the workout-ness of the workout. Still, 5:28/km, maxed at 3:04/km, alright, I suppose.

Spring Course - ~2.67 running distance. Did the SAME THING, went left instead of right coming onto a trail. Map was upside down. Moving to fast to notice until I'd gone the wrong way. Avg'd 4:24/km, maxed at 3:00/km. Felt good after having already done one run.

Real test will be when I actually run somewhere that I don't know like the back of my hadn.

Run to Hawrelak and back with some Plyos in between.
