US Classic Champs Day 1
I've done worse, but no way I should be within five minutes of the lead... nor should I have led the race the first three controls. Too sloppy and too slow.
QR. I only calibrated the route with two points, at 18 and where I left the path between 6 and 11. In some places it's good, others there is distortion.
#1 I spiked, despite what QR says, but took a while to leave the start and work out a direction to run in. #2 was bad, very hesitant, didn't understand. Around 5/6/11 it seems there was a little distortion, might explain wiggles. #8 as well, not sure what was up, but the control was at the red bend in the qr route, at the top of the circle, assuming the gps track is in the right place. Going to #10 I was on the north side of the stream.
Big mistakes to #17 and #19. Poor. I lost the racing spirit after Ken disappeared en route to 16. He caught me on the way to 9, so I sped up for a few controls.
Lots of fun, but would be better with fitness. Left knee was tender afterwards, PSU problem recurred.
