The Course was very open. Good preparation for the terrain. Bad day before hand but started pretty well. Missed only one point, relocated immediately and then found again. Measured distance is slightly off because of one point hit stop apparently.
Elevation was not too bad until a bit through, as well as lack of water.
Later found that I ran right past the point. I MEAN RIGHT PAST IT. Error was about 5 minutes. Spiked rest of controls. Was quite tired near end.
Ended third for VM in this race behind Paddock-NTOA, and L-Dub, USMAOC
Course Notes: 7.8km, 260M Elevation

Before the race was not feeling well, Headache, fatigue, stomach problems, threw up felt better but not best, was quite tired from previous run and weather
Altitude not too bad until after a ways in the race
Start - First to start sprint, was not set up, they were late, threw off routine
Started okay, messed up one point horrible. Figured that not went far enough from Garmin. 3:15 error or so. Met McBride at 9, took away error and ensured better orienteering. Small error throughout rest of course. 2nd half very hilly, up down. Felt a lot throughout.
Still finished first because first start but not good time.
finished middle of the pack. Lost about 5 minutes through the race.
Course Notes: 2.9km, 90M
