Event: Flying Pig XVII and Eastern Interscholastic Champs
 

Sprint on Indiana University campus - 1st day of Flying Pig. OK run except for one control. On control 14 got confused and thought I was on the line from 12 - 13. Lost almost 2.5 minutes trying to figure it out. A few other small misses and hesitations. Out of the money since 2.5 minutes is a huge mistake in a sprint.

Course was long for a sprint, probably by 3 - 6 minutes. A few longer legs and fewer controls may have made a good course even better. Straight line distance 2.7 km.

Perfect day weatherwise, low 60's and sunny.

This is Spring? 34F with a breeze. At least it was daylight. Time to start tapering for the Pig.

Event: CSU Urban adventure run!
 

At Moreau today to finish up a few details. More snow up on the plateau than at Wakpominee, 3-6" with about 90% coverage. More work than without snow. Quite a nice day, sunny and approaching 50F.

Everything is now streamered except for a few obvious White course controls. And unless the vetter has issues, courses are done. If you like technical terrain, do not miss this event.

Hike from the bus drop-off to start location. Most of the trail was covered with an inch or two of well-settled snow.
