| To sum up in few words - my start time sucked but regardless of the start time - I was way too tentitive entire course plus I did not even puch myself 100% otr even 90% physically. | ||

| I tried not to be as tentitive as I was in Sprint. There were some decent route executions. Judging from splits I had decent leg from #6 to #7. Speedwise I don't think I was running faster that particular leg but I do think what happenned was that probably most guys went straight however I lowered myself down to the creek on the left side and avoided going up and down sone steep ravines. Other fast leg was from #12 to #13 but that does nto count since I was trying to match Will's speed.
I made few directional mistakes. I do like my knew compas and I am braver executing direct route choices. Sometimes if I can't figure out obvious route choice I just take baring and start runnung based on baring and then I readjust based what I hit on my way. However it seems like with overconfidence I was sloppy on taking the right baring | ||

| Rode with Mike to Cortland and back. If anyone considers sharing ride with Mike in the future you shall know that Mike has eclectic taste in music - you will hear many alternative performers and performers from 80s pop - Beasty Boys, Kate Bush, Cure, James to name a few (I did not hear James on this trip but on one of the previous trips). I enjoyed but will you? | ||

| Slowest qualifying heat but I managed to come in second. Therefore I guarantied myself spot in top 10.
John F., Vlad and I messed up 3rd flag big time. That was probably main cause why we got caught by second heat. For a minute I thought there is no way I can qualify by time. But then going from 9 to 10 I noticed that Vlad is just in front of me and running at speed that gave me a "hope". Had to decide where to pass him for 2nd spot in my heat. I passed him going to #14. That stayed till finish | ||

| By far the most satisfying race in Sprint Series Finals. Unfortunately after punching in #12 I planned and executed route from #12 to #14, skipping #13. My route choice included to run through #13 and I saw #13. But when I saw #13 I thought - that's not my flag and ran by. Eddie was following me at that point and was "impressed" how fast I punched in #13.
If I was in the slowest heat in round one then this was fastest heat for round 2. Could have placed 6,7 but.... DQ is DQ. By #14 I was starting tun run out of fuel and top 3 guys were ahead of me enough that I could not catch them to contend for 3rd best time. I did not even try to contend with Edie once he punched just in front of me at #15. It would not matter anyway since I DQd anyway. Why this was most satisfying race? Because for most part I was able to execute my line, cutting corners from John's and Ross' route choices. I have to say that John was running all over vs. Ross executed his route choices very well. | ||

| Race for 6th to 10th. After punching in #5 I was out of fuel. I did not have straight to follow the group, so, I let them go. Intensity was not there for me anymore and I was just racing to finish, hoping, maybe I can steal place or two if I don't make too many mistakes. But I did. Not big ones but about minute or so in total. Some of the route choices were horrible... | ||
