WUOC Middle Distance
I chose to start early to beat the heat and was the 8th
starter and the temperature was cooler (around 23C) than starting later which
was nice. I lost 1 minute on #2 and 15sec on #3 but the second to last control #18
was killer where I lost 4 minutes. My plan was to be aggressive and hope to
have a perfect race. I thought there is no point in running controlled and
place between 60-70 but rather push my limits to have a great result. I was
having a very good race up until #17 where I think it got to my head a little
bit. I thought to myself I’ve done it and that’s when disaster strikes! Did not
end up going far enough and after thinking I was close (and I was) I ran around
and then decided to go to #19 and then go back which worked out great but I
should have just done it sooner and I would have limited the damage to probably
2 minutes not 4! I am still happy with my performance despite the mistakes.
Tomorrow is the relay and I will be anchoring Canada 1 team. Will C. will be
starting and Robbie A. will run second.

I’m sure everyone is aware of that. Same thing goes for Francois Gonon at WOC 2011 long final, pack running with Thierry Gueorgiou to his bronze medal...
