Today's sprint at JCCC
We had lots of route choice on today's sprint race at JCCC. The only legs that didn't have any choice were 3, 7, 13 and 14. The route choices on the rest of the leg weren't especially tricky, but there was enough to keep you thinking. Certainly you'd lose some time if you didn't have a look at the route choice before you had to make it. Fun course.
My run was pretty good. I didn't get the optimal route on some of the legs (10 and 12...maybe 8). I pushed myself a little too hard on 6 and slowed as I recovered on the way to 7.
When we finished, we had a test. We had a blank map with photographs of 10 pieces of sculpture that are scattered around the map. The idea was to mark the map showing each art work. Some of the photos were easy to match up because they were used as control locations. Some were tougher.
