spiked:15/17c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
Classic course on Huntington map. Red Course (M45, also the women's WRE course). A good run on an excellent course and map. Mostly reading features well and maintaining contact. Got distracted by others on the way to 6 and lost a couple of minutes. I lost time on 3 legs late in the race to non-optimum route choices - I was tired and took the first route I saw rather than pick the best. About 5 or 6 minutes of errors overall (10 min/k was doable). Straightline distance was 7.9 km.
On the long leg (7 - 8) I took a route to the right of the line which included about 50% major trails( dirt roads). Most people went straighter, following various less-green corridors to get from trail to trail. I think I was about 1:30 faster than I would have been going straighter.
Quite a change in the weather from Saturday. In the 40's and very windy.
4th in M45 (both today and 2 day total). 20 out of 46 on classic course.
