US Sprint champion! Second overall, 59s behind J (I count it a success when I'm within a minute of him in a sprint, so...success!).
SplitsWhat went wrong: Basically nothing. Lost maybe 5s going around a small pond the wrong way. Splits also show that I was slowing relative to the field over the last few legs.
What went right: Basically everything. A super clean race overall, was reading ahead well and choosing the right routes; a couple times I even chose a better route than J, which almost never happens because his sprint-smarts are better than mine. We did pretty substantial studying of the 2014 map, which definitely helped.
