U.S. Nationals Sprint Green. We got there really late, drove to the start, and were the last two starters, right around 4 p.m. I was looking forward to this. I prefer a park sprint to an urban sprint, maybe because I get confused with a lot of little changes of direction. I managed to figure out the tricky stuff with the bridges, fences, and underpasses without too much time-wasting. My inclination was to get over to whatever side the next control was on as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of time at #2 because I couldn't grasp the idea that it might be under the bridge. That might have pulled me down a place, but as it was I was 3rd in M60.
