MNOC Summer Sprint #3 at Battle Creek sponsored by Columbia
Greta summer sprint courses set by Phil with lots of route choice decisions and very little thrashing through the thick stuff.
Ran with Eric K chasing me (I found out after he was an some severe no carbs diet or something- seemed to slow him down) . So went back and forth with my better micro route choice paying off on most occasions. Tom and Andrei were 3- 4 minutes head and Tom had bad error around 10 . He caught up to me around 12 ... neck and neck for a while and I passed him at what I though was final control and sprinted to finish BUT there was one more about 40 m away ,,,, recovered from my early finish, punched the final control and sprinted to try and catch Tom at the line ... 2 seconds too late. Fun evening
