Running 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
15 minute warm up to tempo with striders. Focused on what I needed to do in this race during the warm up. Good warm up. 5 minute cool down.
Orienteering 19:12 [4] ** 3.4 km (5:39 / km) +90m 4:59 / km
spiked:24/28c
Team Trials Sprint
Very good course. 2nd overall and 1st eligible for WOC. Didn't ever run too quickly. The hills on campus kept my pace relatively slow. Only a few errors.
Error time: 0:34
Errors:
-Misreading/failing to read control descriptions and thus attacking the controls poorly.
- Thinking a crossable wall was uncrossable and adding distance and time.
Solutions:
-Always check my descriptions.
-Recognize the mapping symbols while running fast. Practice reading while running fast.

Peña Colorada Middle.
This was an ok middle. I made a lot of mistakes and I struggled to relocate well. The map quality was suspect. The white woods were just as thick as the green. Some ditches seemed more like trails. In short, not a great map.
Error time: 8:00 minutes
Errors:
-Getting pushed off course by green (Although since the green wasn't accurate at all it threw me off even more)
-Poor bearings.
-Pushing the pace when I should have focused on better navigation.
Solutions:
-When in green focus on the compass to keep me on track.
-Check direction when exiting a control (it's one of those pivotal points)
-A middle should be competitive but not headless chicken competitive.

spiked:14/14c
Canal de Castilla Spanish National League
Really good race. I stepped out early though because the team trials are too close to destroy my body with a long.
I raced it to number 9 and then dropped the pace until 14 where I dropped out. I was in 13th out of 31 when I stopped racing and 14th when I dropped out.
No mistakes really today. I could have taken a few better route choices. But I am glad I can write this here...
