| Don't have the map in front of me to recall my race. I seem to recall a fairly consistant performance, despite my panic start of forgeting my proper shoes and then realizing that I didn't have my SI card on my finger at the startline and having to run back to the car. Unfortunately the shoes I ended up having to race in are very low end casual shoe made to look like trail shoes... needless to say they have almost zero tread, could not be tightened up that much and blister the ba-geeezz out of my feet. So overall pleased with my ability to shut out and still race hard. |

| Eliminator Sprint: Huge error in reading vegetation on a leg (3 to #4). Lost a good amount of time digging into a patch of dark green (hoping to come out the other side), then finally decided that I wasn't going to come out the otherside and so had to back track and recover (~1min lost). Otherwise felt strong and ready for the G.Cup. |

| Felt really tired today, but forced myself out as by Wednesday I'll have to tapper for the Gator Cup. Felt good once out and about, even despite the bugs. Can't wait to get back to BC, before the real swarms of deer and black flies start appearing here. |
