U.S. Team training at Bastrop State Park. I shadowed William Hollowell for the first part of the rough compass training course, then ran the second part by myself. My left knee mostly felt fine running easy. My left Achilles tendon twinged a few times while running but wasn't sore afterward.

I ran a "tennis match" exercise in a trio with Tom Hollowell and Gabe Svobodny. We picked three segments of a short course, with fairly technical controls and short-to-medium length legs, and we ran each one hard, with one runner getting a 30-45 second head start and the other runners starting together and chasing. The person who arrives first at the final control of each segment wins the point for that segment. We took turns starting first. It was a fun way to bring some pressure to the training. I won three points--woo-hoo! :-)
