RMOC Rainbow Falls 2011

Results July 24, 2011
RMOC Rainbow Falls - Red Course
1:31:15; 5.64mi; +1243ft; 13/16 OA



Rainbow Falls Red. A good race for me. Mistakes on #8 (8-10min, stupid), #4 (3-4min, went past it, saw 2 controls that weren't mine), bad route to #6 (1-2min). I walked a lot more than I would have liked to since it was hot and I was getting a blister on my right big toe and just feeling generally wimpy about tripping on stuff. I probably would have just made more navigation mistakes if I ran more anyway since when I run hard I make more mistakes near the end and I didn't today.

Yep, looking at the results/graph 4,6,8 killed me and I had the most lost time. Rest was great by my standards. According to the graph, for the whole cluster of people within ~10min ahead of me, 4,6,8 were the only ones they beat me on by anything more than seconds (1,2 and 12 were not spectacular either). I'm still standing by my route for 12 and blaming my blister, heat, laziness for why that was so slow.
