Day 2 of Classic Champs at Truckee. Not as clean as the previous days, but I felt like I was running faster. Overall, my time was similar to yesterday, but most other folks were faster, so I was further down the standings. I did manage to hold on to second place in F50+. Big mistake at number 6. I drifted too far south and hit the trail southwest of 7. This was very confusing because at that point the trail is oriented funny and I had a hard time figuring out where I was. Eventually I figured it out, found 7 and then made my way back to 6. Also lost some time on number 8 because I saw this obvious knoll along the route, but mistook it for a mapped earthbank (not noticing the knoll itself on the map). So I thought I was on the line when I wasn't. After passing the knoll things weren't lining up and I figured it out and corrected. After that I was just tired and took nice, safe route choices. Fun weekend. It was nice to get out in the woods again.
