sprint event. great pace after 4-5 controls.. ooops . skipped one control and 'gained' like 7-8 sec. happy about the pace, but not happy about the 'habit'

quick warm up. arrived just in time to start- almost as usual. but pumped for another nice day at the office. obviously i forgot to get some bug spray. and i noticed that during next 2h as i must have killed like 40-50 bugs

second day at US champs. i think this could be defined as very difficult technical intensity for most of the course. i probably need it a magnifier in few places as 1:15 made it really hard for a proper understanding of contours. somehow lucky at 2 - maybe lost 1.5 min , then another 2.5 min at 6..men , i need to stay focus always. good but hesitant at 9 -probably dropped 45 sec. executed quite well the long leg, except that they forgot to cut the circle at 10 were the trail was covered by purple. dropped like 2.5 min there and still having fun. killing horse fly is somehow fun..at 14 there were another 2 hunting towers there- got messed up and lost like 6-7 min in that search, lost interest for running and not staying focused since was NOT my fault those mistakes. lost another 7 min combined at 15,16,17- and did not really care. got cramps last 10 min.. probably except z-man everyone had a really tough day. ENJOYED very much the terrain and map- definitely high up in my terrain/map rankings..that area will make a great terrain for a very technical training camp .. sweet. thanks CNYO..long day to make it back to Canada, but pleasant scenic route
