Lost 13 min on first conrtol on parallel error - then had a great run - pushed hard, minor hasitations after bomb on #1. I had to go back to the start - had no clue where I was, only figured it all out after finish by looking at different course map. Last time I had a bomb like that was in 1984 :)

Training with Kseniya, Z-man and Valeriy in JH-LM Park - 2 in of frozen snow on the ground. Course was 8.1 km, I had 1 big lapse, when I did not watch compass going down hill over barbaris prickles - turned 90 deg and then spent 3 min standing around, trying to figure out what happened - total 5 min error. Knee handled two days of work with no problems, but it is not 100% yet.
