Off to the races
Early tomorrow morning I'm getting on a plane and heading toward Ohio to run the U.S. Team selection races. Actually, I'm only running M21 the first two days. The third day I'll run my M40 age group.
It should be fun to see how the selection races go.
I'm planning to post audio updates Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll do my best to post the key results in M21 and F21 for anyone who is sitting at home and trying to follow the races.
Of course, the audio-posting function isn't 100 percent reliable.
An intersting map from Sweden
Check out Kim Fagerudd's map from a race in Trollhattan. The terrain looks fun and Fagerudd's routes look good (he described it as his best middle distance race ever).
I also thought the map was interesting. The mapper drew a lot of small vegetation details (green areas and yellow areas). When I lived in Sweden (which was about 15 years ago), the maps almost never had that sort of detail, even when the terrain had some small thick areas and some small open areas. I wonder if the mapping style in Sweden has changed or if this particular map is unusual.
