JWOC Sprint
Not great, some big things and some smaller things. Not a reflection of my sprint form from May which is frustrating.
Missed running through the gap and small path to 5 because I was confused by the oob tape in the area, it turns out that there were two different pieces of tape and the small path came between them but as I was running I didn’t see the break in the tape and went the whole way around. Knew that race was over then but tried my best to keep pushing for the rest of it.
Also went down the wrong road going to #16 and got confused, just another split second of distraction which costs a lot.
A few more hesitations and bad route choices lost me a lot of time. Also felt like I couldn’t push at all, feet were landing on heel so basically braking every step so not fast from that as well.
Not in the right place mentally going into the race which obviously wouldn't help things either.
Fun course and area though!
