shoes: The Purple Ones
EVENT: US Team Sprint
COURSE: 2.91 km, 12 controls, 135m climb
MAP: The Gates of AMT Hell, 1:10,000, 5m contours
TERRAIN: Rolling to moderately hilly terrain, with a few areas of technical rock detail. Sage meadows, sparse ponderosa forest, and aspen.
MY RUN: I started off really well, passing several people through control #5, but then I made a mistake on #6 (1.5-2.5 minutes) by going too far and a bigger mistake on #7 (4-6 minutes). Both mistakes happened in the tricky rock areas, which I had a tough time relocating in. The rest of the course was clean, but these two mistakes were enough to put me far back of the winning times.
RESULTS: 40th finisher, 7th female
