| U.S. Team Trials long distance race at Pontiac Lake Recreation Area. I made a large (3 minute) mistake on the third control then had a pretty good run for the rest of the course, although my legs were gradually fading for the last 40 minutes or so. Fortunately, I avoided any profound bonking of the kind I experienced at the Umstead (North Carolina) meet in early March. My map handling and reading technique had some noticable clumsiness and inefficiency, which probably cost me a 1-2% slowdown over the course.
Nick Duca won in 95:xx. Wyatt Riley was the top Team Trials runner. Wyatt caught me (3 minutes) at control #3, I pulled away from him, then he caught me again around #9 before pulling away at #14, where I made a nearly 1-minute hesitation. I didn't see him for the rest of the course (after a glimpse coming into #15), and he finished about 1:20 before me. |

| Team Trials sprint race. I had a pretty good run, with just some small time losses due to hesitations or poor micro-routes here and there. I was happy with how fast I was able to run, given my recent lack of training. It was noticably slower than I would normally go, and I sort of hit the wall about 60% if the way around, but it was enough for a decent result. |
