Tyler sprint. Apparently, the same course as last time, but backwards, and with a slightly different start. Still, seemed fresh and was a great sprint.
Bad first and 4th? controls. On the latter, encountered a frisbee golf outing and had to take a large detail to the left through the green.
It was great to race against Greg. I was surprisingly competitive. He beat me handily, but most was due to the 4th control. He would have still gotten me, but it would have been much closer.
Legs felt aggressive.

Tyler Pink course.
Apparently we weren't supposed to go into the fields but everyone did? (Except for Greg, I think.)
Legs felt flat at the outset. Should I have eaten/drank between races?
During the middle I got my stride and maxed out velocity. During one downhill late in the course I was running at max speed. Greg got me by 3-4 seconds on that one. I was thinking about leg turnover on that stretch, and thinking I need to run faster. The body was willing but the legs not able.
Because Greg didn't take the fields in the beginning, our splits aren't comparable at times. Still, generally close, except for the penultimate, when I was ~50 seconds slower. Not sure why...
