US Champs Blue Night-O at Mt. Airy, Hosted by OCIN
Had an OK run for the opening event. Headlamp broke on the way to CP4, so ended up using a backup hand held light for most of the race. Not an ideal situation. Fell down more frequently, and slow eye transition from blinding light on map to dark distance in woods. No major blowups, which was good, but had a rather inconsistent run for 7th place. Route choice could have been snappier as well, too much flip-flopping.
