Brisk warm-up for the U.S. Short Course Championships. I felt okay but not great. I realized as I was preparing a few minutes before the start that I hadn't mentally prepared myself to navigate (pay attention to the map and where I go), and that worried me a bit.

Ran U.S. Short Course Champs at East Fork Park, OH. I still had some map handling and routine problems today and was generally not smooth or very fast, but I managed to avoid substantial lost time mistakes and generally kept myself going. The run was not much fun and not very satisfying. Orienteering is so much better when the technique and flow click.

Brief warm-down after race. I chilled quickly in the cold and rain.
