Second place at COCs M20 Long! Felt really sick this morning and contemplated not racing but I decided to go out anyways. I was a bit worried before I started because I was having a really hard time doing my mental prep, going through my race plan and visualization. Once I got running however I focused in pretty good on the map, taking it really slow and just staying in contact at all times. I was a bit shakey to 1 and 2 but once I got a feel for the map I aced almost all controls. My one mistake was on #6 where I mad a slight parallel error which cost me about 2-3 minutes. Over all, besides feeling pretty sick I feel really happy with my race. Slow and steady did me well today.

Over all this COCs was beyond expectations. The radio controls/music/announcing/finish shoot/amazing banquet really put the icing on the cake. Now its time to rest....
