U.S. Sprint Champs Model Event. Walked much of this to get a feel for the mapping style. This turned out to be a good idea because deadfall mapping was unique. Ran a little near the end to get my pacing set. and loosen-up.

Jogged back and forth to the start and stretched a bit. Knee bothering me a bit but I knew it would be fine for the race.

SOP for my races and it's high time for me to execute on what I know I have to improve. Decent route choices and map contact except for controls 6 & 7 where I completely lost focus with my O2-starved brain. Need to:
1) Watch my bearing more carefully.
2) Navigate more actively.
