O - competition race (US Nationals Middle) 35:10 [4] 3.77 km (9:20 / km) +26m 9:02 / km
Brown B at St Patrick’s Co Pk.
Fumbled the start a little, but not badly. Ok to 2 & 3, then tried some bushwhacking to 4, but got slowed in the green. Then broke out above the letters and cut too far L. Had to double back to the right spot. 3 min there.
Past the buildings to 5, down the slope but no control. Back to mid slope and realized I had to drop over the bank into the green. 1 min.
Ok to 6, ran across the stream rather than detour to the bridge.
Straight lined all the rest. Running thru the woods was fine there.
