Event: US Team Trials
Run 25:00 [1] 2.7 mi (9:16 / mi)
shoes: VJ Spikes
warmup
Orienteering race 15:19 [5] **** 2.7 km (5:40 / km) +60m 5:06 / km
shoes: VJ Spikes
Team Trials Sprint.
An OK race. Reasonably good technically, though maybe too conservative on route choice. In any case, I missed or failed to take some optimal routes and did few excessive switchbacks.
The bigger porblem was that I did not feel like I had good legs today. Just did not feel fast. Maybe the heat?
Overall, as I had high expectations for this race, I was disappointed.

Split back on the "race course" was ~23:00 but I stopped to talk to Chris. And it was at level 2.

Warmup
Orienteering 39:06 [4] **** 5.3 km (7:23 / km) +150m 6:28 / km
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Iron Hill green.
Missed my goal time by a decent margin. 35 minutes would have been harder than I thought. I think I only lost 2.5 minutes, plus some time to hesitations.
I concentrated and ran well throughout. I'm not sure how to have better executed the control (10?) that caused my problems. It is in a very subtle area with new downed trees. Admittedly, I didn't have a great plan but short of taking it really slowly, I don't know how to improve things much.
