Warm-up for the Classic.

Classic race on the Lime Hollow map in Cortland, NY. Started out really solid but made a really bad mistake in a swamp going to number 4 that cost me a good 3 minutes because it took so long to get through the swamp before I was able to realize I had made a mistake. A couple other awful controls rounded out a nearly 10-min mistake race. The funny thing is that I was actually feeling pretty solid physically for the first time in a while and I was even Orienteering pretty well for most of the race. But I just couldn't hold my concentration consistently enough to avoid the big mistakes. It's been a while since I have had a race with this many big mistakes. I hope it's not a sign that my technique is lacking practice.

Duca had a nice run winning it in close to 71 minutes. PG also had an impressive run at 83 minutes, taking down quite a few of the younger guys. It's kind of scary how fast he can be on a tough course like this.

The course, map and terrain were all quite nice, although I did get a bit sick of all the swamps but they were definitely hard to avoid on a long course in such a small area. I am starting to really like Central NY terrain as long as I can stay out of the fields.

Wasn't able to do a cool-down run because I had a pretty nasty headache as I finished that stuck around for a while.
