Prairie Goat
Decided in advance that 14km would be too much for myself 2days before COCs, so just did the first 5k to the spectator control.
Had a great first leg going in the mass start. I could see the rest of the guys behind me climbing up and over a hill on the way to the control, and I took a nicer route around the hill with a good attack. However I still managed to mess things up by going to three different thickets before finding my own (1min lost). Long leg to 2. I beasted it down the trail, and to my suprise I could see a few of the other guys across the field. I must of passed them going into the control, and I managed to punch right after Patrick. Ran with Patrick until the trail section to 4 where he started to pull away. Made a 1 minute mistake to 6, where Jon T. caught up to me, and we ran together to the spectator control.
This race was a big confidence booster. I showed myself that I could keep up with the faster guys, and be faster than them with good orienteering.
