Stuck pretty well to my goals for the meet, other than to get distracted by COMPETITION. Compass focus, pace count, and 2/3 push (thanks to the mega-downhill!!) all went well. Smoothness, and decision making speed and accuracy were too variable, especially when rattled (9-12).
Happy to come in 2nd overall (to TomO, nice job Tom!) on the mega-long leg which was on Green, Red and Blue.
