SMP sprint race
I ran a sprint race yesterday at Shawnee Mission Park. Not much to say about my race. I worked hard. I'm not in very good form, so I wasn't moving very fast.
I've been fieldchecking a sprint map and it showed. I was reading the map well, but wasn't quite seeing the big picture, seeing the overall structure in ways that would have made my race a bit faster. That should come back with a bit of map study and another couple of training sessions focusing on race techniques.
