Heading into this one, I was thinking of taking it easy. The chances I get into the championship are pretty small and I'd rather be full strength when I race for sixth place. The heat included Adam Woods, Ian Collings, Peteris, and Siri. The race starts, and all that goes out the window, so there goes that plan. I get dropped pretty quick by Peteris, Ian, and Adam, but after the first two controls I keep them in my sights for the rest of the race, running about their pace. Final two controls, I out-kicked Peteris and snagged third place. I got the fifth qualification spot for the final!!

I was only about half a minute (?) behind Adam Woods and got myself fourth place. Very happy with my race but I'm pooped. Very technical garden section that was fun to run in.
