My first meet at Sunol. Rex did a nice job of course setting. I was pretty worried as we approached the terrain. It was Steep. And Hot too, about 85 degrees.
I was running pretty well for the first half, neglecting one route choice mistake through the poison oak. Jonas started about 5 minutes after me, and didn't catch me till after the 13th control, when I exited the wrong way. He overran the next control, giving me a chance to pass him back. Then I took off too fast and completely blew the 15th control. At this point my adrenaline crashed, my legs tightened up, and I had to walk in the last 5 controls. I was pretty overheated, and it took 20 minutes after the race to properly cool down.
