Flying Pig Long @ Miami Whitewater. Although the results don't indicate it, this was one of my best a-meet races ever. I was moving well, running up hills and in touch with the map almost the whole time. I made a 3 minute "bonehead" error on the super-long route choice to 10 by planing a route to 12 instead!! It would have been a great route choice had 12 been my next control. ;-) I am a little more concerned about the 5 minutes that I lost on 9. After a solid first 8 controls I was trying to get fancy by contouring a little to save climb. I must have been quite addled to overrun the point as far as I did. I had to retrace a lot of steps back up the hill to relocate. There is something to learn from this so I'll noodle on it over the next few days. A great race for me that I am determined not to lose sight of while learning from my mistakes. Sadly, I have no o-races scheduled for 5 whole weeks so I think I need to get into the terrain for some training in early April.
