Event: Birkhead Wilderness Classic (US Classic Champs)
 

Things that went badly today:
1. I was nervous at the start and felt kinda frantic on the first few controls.
2. I tried a new technique, to speak out loud the features I was looking for up ahead. I had a hard time doing this very well.
3. I made lots of parallel errors.
4. Made about 15 minutes of mistakes.

Things that went well today:
1. I relocated quickly when I needed to, for the most part.
2. I eventually calmed down and navigated better later in the course.
3. Fitness was not a factor. I felt fine the whole time and was able to move well till the end.
4. I beat ken and alic on the finish split
5. I ran faster than the other F45s
6. I had lots of fun talking with many friends.

Tomorrow, I'm going to stop trying so hard, not try anything new and just trust my preparation and fitness.

Yeah! My regular trainer is back! He took it easy on me, due to the races this weekend. Although we did a lot of planks, which I didn't do much over the past 8 weeks. So those weren't easy at all.

I'm alternating between nervousness and calm about the upcoming weekend. Nervous, because, well, I want to win. Calm because I'm in good shape and I have lots of recent O training. I'm disappointed that there are only 4 of us entered in F45. But there are tons of F50s, so I'll also see if I can grab some scalps out of that group:)

Sanctioning bid submitted today. Guess I know what Mike and I will be doing with all of our free time for the next year :)

Random exploration of west campus trails. Some were man made, some were deer made. Nice to see and chat with Mike as he was riding home. Sixty degrees out and still sunny. Beautiful evening.
