Running warm up/down 15:00 [3]
Up. Checked out the special symbols which was definitely a good decision, and quickly discovered that woods that looked bad were very bad. Avoid the nasty looking woods.

It was a fiarly good run, although I made one mistake where I thought I was to the left of the control but was actually to the right (probably lost 2-3 minutes), and another mistake where I decided to take a shortcut and skip part of a trail, but got sucked off to the left into some rocky green stuff and lost a lot of time trying to get back to the trail (1-2 minutes). Aside from that it was pretty clean, although I wasn't moving very fast. I only saw one person I thought was on my course (Zach Schroeder around my 17th control), but I never saw him again, so I didn't really feel the pressure. It did cause me to speed up a little, but I was close enough tot he end that it didn't make a significant difference. Overall, I'd say my greatest weakness today was speed.
