US Team Trials long - as it turns out now that I see full results including all the other non US runners, 6th. Still very happy since a few of my plans for legs can stand to be second guessed, particularly in hindsight given better knowledge of the vegetation than the map afforded, but I executed virtually all of them well. I'm even quite happy with the exception, the leg to the 7th control, in which my direction leaving 6 was a bit off, things didn't look quite right and I slowed down, read the map, and managed to find the control without bailing out to anything. Only really unhappy with my poor decision as to when on the way to 9 to try and read ahead and make my route choice for 10 - lost a bit of time in the area I'm sure the meet notes had in mind with the warning about some trail junctions being easy to miss.
In any case, arguably my best US trials yet. Certainly my most consistent - I'd say the M-21 field was stronger in 2005 but my long result that year was a disappointment. Here's hoping it's a good omen for the Canadian Trials - most male Canadian team contenders seem to be in pretty good form this spring.
