COC Long. Nice course. I was feeling ok and actually navigating pretty well early on, but the week's fatigue soon showed that I was not up to a task this tough. I was physically and mentally not having fun anymore and ready to be done by about number 13.

Instead of resting on the rest day, Ian and I decided to undertake an epic journey around the Mount Lorne loop. Things went well until on the way down we made a parallel error and went down the wrong spur; this caused us to soon be wading through increasingly high and dense brush instead of finding the ATV trail we were promised.
Eventually after much discussion and hand-wringing, and several false starts, we figured out what we had done and decided simply to trudge back up to the top of the ridge to correct our mistake. Each step upward drilled the shame of our folly into us further, but we soon righted our course (after wasting more than an hour) and galloped down the mountain in a vain attempt to meet our 3pm deadline. We missed it by some 20 minutes. If only we knew how to read a map.

NAOC Sprint. I had a relatively clean race despite taking suboptimal routes on the long legs, and finished a very surprising 6th NA - on the podium! That's my best NAOC finish ever, and I earned individual points for the first time ever as well.

NAOC Relay. Got to be on Team Cascade/USA with Bonesaw and Peteris, which was very cool. I ran the second leg and didn't have a very good race but did manage to keep us ahead of the second Canadian team.

NAOC Long! I had very low expectations but ended up having a decent race and finished 10th NA, which was funny because my stretch goal was to be in the top ten.
