| spiked:15/17c |
| Day 2 US Champs. I needed a big day to catch up, but the rocks on control 3 messed me up again. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to make sense of the rocks, probably a bit of panic and no common sense and it made it worse. The rest of the meet went fine except a bit of a drift off to NO. 4. |

| spiked:13/15c |
| Day 1 US Champs. Things felt good after yesterday and a nice night sleep and great salmon dinner on the grill. The weather great and off I went first 3 controls short and easy, next one in the rock area a mistake coming down the wrong reentrant. So a small 1-2 minute error, now the the 5th control and it was in the middle of a long line of rocks. It was a bottom of a small cliff, I passed it high and than again. I ran into Glen T who said his control circles were off, the course will be thrown out. I did well after this control with just a slight bobble on 13. I guess I ended up 3rd or 4th. Hopefully the course will be thrown out and tomorow is a new day. |

Well I botched a couple of controls and decided that the green course I will run hard and forget the afternoon training. |

| Green course and I was mad that I screwed up the sprint. So I had to ingore all others out there and race myself. It was supposed to be close to the actual US Champ meet. So I went hard like I was racing to see what I could do. Not too bad but I still could of made a couple of better route choices. |
