QOC mass start ultra-long. My best navigation of the weekend. Still some sloppiness but an improvement.

I tried to run a bit easy to the spectator control and then pick things up if I could. That worked ok.

I probably didn't eat/drink enough during the race. The young West Pointer I saw a lot blew me away the last 800 meters.

I felt more comfortable with the map today than yesterday.

UltraLong Championships - Green - Splits

QOC middle. Things felt a lot smoother today. I'm getting over the early season rust.

I have some aches from falling last night. But that didn't bother me while running.

I struggled with the map throughout the course.

Middle - Green X - Splits

QOC night o champs. Very pleasant forest. The hills were a bit tough.

I had a nice run until the last 3 controls when I made some mistakes and took a somewhat hard fall.

I need to do a better job of being systematic toward the end of a race when I feel that I'm tired.

Night Championships - Green X - Splits

Woke up early and got out for a jog. I headed west from downtown to the east Duke campus. Quiet and a bit chilly out. Fun.

Another long and interesting day of work - made good progress. We will be done tomorrow.

Nice dinner tonight:

In Durham, NC, for work. Work was interesting but seemed long. No training but a bit of walking to move a bit.
