| US champs day 2. Far better run, though through physically easier forest mostly. Only four mistakes of more than 5-10 seconds in size - stopped a little short ascending a hill to 7, stupid route through the green up the ridge to 8, dropped off the (spectacular) trail run too early en route to 13, and wasn't really concentrating on route choice to 14 (ran through too much green again). Just momentary lapses this time. First on the day by just under a minute - and would have been third in the champs if I had punched the last control yesterday. | ||

| US champs day 1. Pretty area, very bingo-ish course setting. However unlike the rest of the competitors I actually consider that my terrible run (at least 30-40 minutes of mistakes) was mostly my own fault for not adapting technique quickly enough to the demands of the course. For example, by control 2 I had already been caught 4 minutes by Sergei Zhyk - but was only 30 seconds behind Eric Bone, eventual winner by 13 minutes. Change technique at this point, ignore Sergei, and just navigate, and the whole day could have been a lot happier. The big time losses were 11, a mound in the middle of a vague steep area, and 12, down the hill beyond it. A proper post mortem would do me good. | ||
