Two down, three to go!

So i have just finished the long race for JWOC. The sprint was yesterday
So the sprint. I was an early starter and started with one of the Italian guys so the start went crazy for him haha. I had a pretty clean run! maybe 1:40mins worth of error. i bobbled 4, messed up 15 which was the road crossing. I came down the wrong stairs, they pushed me to cross, then i had to cross back over to punch, and then go on to the last control. Then i messed up 17 a little bit but not horrible. I was feeling really strong which was good! Ended up about 95th place which im happy about. Tori made top 50!!!! GO TORI!!
The long was today. I was a little nervouse about this race :/ I went out in the middle of the field. I was slow to the first few controls and then i met up with two girls on the last bit to 4. I stayed with them up until about control 9ish and we agained other girls as well. Then the thunder and lightning started as i passed through the spectator control/coaches zone. The last loop was slow and i lost the pack. It was very muddly. I finished the course in about 1 hr and 15 mins and some seconds. Feeling very good about it! Although not sure totally how i got to some controls. I think iàm 57th right now.
Ahhh internet about to run out i guess that is all for now. Rest day tomorrow!

  6. Great Job Alison! Your first JWOC is going well and I'm sure you are having a great time. I think about all of you all day while working and I rush home after work to check the results and see how you all did. So far I have been very pleased with what I find. Also I'v been thinking about all the fun we were having together this time last year. Enjoy the rest of JWOC and your summer . See you back here late summer.
