US Long Distance Championships at Letchworth Park.
Due to forgetting to register, I thought was doing the M21 course, but at start line found out I was put on M40. Ces't l'vie - 3less kilometers! Race went well - good flow - forest was super nice and fast - best yet. Mistake on control 1, then met Sergiy Gnatiouk around control 7 - ran somewhat together from there in. He followed me much of the way (or past me on running legs), but it was okay - kind of made it interesting and made me run harder. Overall race went quite well. Wasn't physically "destroyed" after. Overall won the course (by a lot) which is kind of nice.
+ Good flow/ran smooth
+ Good Finnish mind-mill (set expectation-realize expectation - repeat)
NI: check compass periodically for direction when running ridges
Planning Score: 3.8
