I helped out with getting the results displays sorted, so I started about 40 minutes late. So warm – around 70 again, but I had been careful to drink plenty before I went out, so it didn’t bother me.
Today wasn't a good day to try to bond with a new compass. After losing about 8 minutes on each of the two long legs (2-3 and 3-4), I switched back to my old compass and did much better. On the really long leg from 6-7, I had the 13th best split, despite another loopy part near the end of the leg, after being 39 & 41 on the aforementioned legs. The last few legs were much better, likely because they were shorted.
Managed to finish 2nd in my class and 21/58 on the course. Felt pretty good throughout, except for the shooting pain into the side of my left inner foot the last 20 minutes or so. It disappeared as soon as I got out of my shoes. I shouldn't have worn the purple shoes. Back to the black shoes tomorrow, when I hope to claw back some time on the front of the pack.
In the afternoon, the award ceremony was held for the Sprint race.
Later, I joined maprunner, Spike, and Sandy for dinner at the Brickhouse in Lagrange. Congrats to Mary for getting carded! Thanks for inviting me, and sorry about the TMI!
Day 2 of 4 in the books.
