Prologue sprint at Carleton University. I caught the girl (Cheryl) who started 2 minutes ahead of me at the first control and got a bit confused going to the second control because I didn't check my direction. I then went up too early into 4 by following an elephant track through the green. I got covered in big burrs and even had them in my hair for the rest of the race. The rest of the race was clean except for one or two tiny errors and my speed was much better than it has been. I wasn't able to quite shake Cheryl and we were together most of the race. It looks impressive in the results that I beat Emily Kemp but she was just jogging on her banged up knee.

Chase Sprint at Carleton. This was a really fun race. The women's category started last so I barely saw anybody out on my course. The course was much trickier than the course in the morning and there were lots of technical route choices. I felt like I did a really good job of planning ahead and anticipating. I only made one mistake where I got caught in a fence but almost everybody else did as well. I considered climbing it but ended up going back and around. I ran harder than I have in a long time but I still wasn't fast at all speed wise. I started to get "the sickness" near the end and decided if I was going to make myself sick, I might as well run a race that I could be proud to puke over so I ran as fast as I could to the finish and collapsed in a big heap. I was really slow compared to some of the other girls but I felt that I executed this race almost as well as I could given my current fitness. I felt queasy off and on for the rest of the day but did not lose my lunch. I am going to put this race in the win column.
