(Beginning of Switzerland Camp led by Erin Schirm) Sprint training in a beautiful Swiss town with a lot of alleys! What an incredible experience, I had so much fun with this and felt a little like a ninja popping in and out of tiny alleys,bit was interesting because the locals kept looking at you funny...

The number of controls I spiked is based on if I did not make any mistakes. Mistakes include the smaller mistakes, even if it's just 10 seconds near the control looking around for it. Not sure if spiked has a more specific definition.

I don't have my watch right now, so I'll update this when I get that. Extremely difficult terrain, especially close to the beginning, and it was hard getting relocated because an intense amount of possible parallel errors. I made a 3-5 minute mistake at 3, a 3-5 minute midtake at 4, and a 2-3 minute mistake at 9. There were some smaller 10 second hiccups, but otherwise it was good. The marshy area in the north was really easy to navigate in, so I spiked 5 through 7, and it was like a small break where I had to do nothing but run. Placed 32/51 despite my cringeworthy mistakes. Feel free to check out my routes and mistakes on facebook. I can't seem to link the pictures on the iPad, that's why I keep saying that.
I can't put my splits because my splits didn't have the right number of controls and said I mispunched twice. I wasn't disqualified though, so I think it's just I got a bad copy of my splits.

Not quite as difficult as Saturday, but still very tough. It was fun though, and except for one 30 second mistake and a questionable route choice, I think I did pretty well. I put a lot more effort in and got results out, and I ended up taking 20th place out of 44. The terrain was a lot of forgiving today, and I could spend more time focusing on where I was going rather than where I was stepping. Map is on Facebook, profile is Thomas Laraia.
