Map linkA Team Trials, Sprint distance Blue course through the intricate narrow walkways of Mills College. I wasn't running as fast as I wanted to, but even then, the navigation was extremely challenging. There were several areas with many fine details; the section of the course between #16 and #20 was particularly tricky. I fell into the "dead end" trap on the eastern route choice to #2, and also made a 20 second mistake to #15 (I overran the control all the way to the clock tower before relocating). On well-designed Sprint courses like this one, there really isn't any margin for error... Congratulations to Will and Ethan, who finished in front of the entire US Senior Team!
I finished 3rd among US juniors, and 5th overall.
