It took four runs, but this was closer to the race I was looking for. Fifth North American and second American overall, <30s behind Ross and just a few seconds ahead of Eric, Ethan, and Robbie Anderson. As for our team, Tori, Erin, Alison and I took second!
Considering the stakes (high), the circumstances (relay), and the individual and collective result (positive), this race has to be the new highlight of my orienteering career. It's an absolute honor to wear a Team USA jersey, one that I will never forget or take for granted, as well as to race with and against friends both old and new, and finally to help score meaningful points for the USA on the way to retaining the BK Cup. Just a wonderful experience in every way.
