Warmup for US Champs. No cooldown.
Shadowed Oriana after - that was difficult as I was being quite strict as a non-assisting shadow. Not only never seeing the map, but also not discussing anything related to navigation. I did 'assist' by running back to get bug spray and water on this hot, mosquito-ey day after about an hour out - and poor Oriana ended up with ~20 bites. Yet she did not want to quit at any time. Even after she broke down and needed a hug and I suggested we just head back to the car, she said she wanted to keep going, and kept her eye out on the way back, re-locating, and continuing on with the course... 1.6km, 2 hours...
