Sprint at West Point
I'm writing from a grassy hillside overlooking the Hudson river at West Point. I finished the morning sprint event and waiting for my middle distance start in a couple of hours. I am unsure of how I will manage two races in a day, but so guess I will know soon. The sprint was a struggle. I am fighting a mild cold and struggled with the rocks in the first part of the course. I felt a bit rushed and made a couple of less than ideal route choices. Doesn't sound like a good race and it wasn't. But it was a fun course, nice map and fantastic setting.
