◪ race (long) 2:41:01 [4] **** 25.0 km (6:26 / km) +750m 5:36 / km
spiked:25/29c shoes: VJ Integrator 2004
Long-O US Champs - good run, some minor errors along the way - may be 4 min lost total + 1 min pit stop, biggest error was not the best rout to # 19 ~ 1.5 - 2 min lost. Started to slow down after # 22 and had some cramps for last 3.5 km, happy with my 6-th place, super clean run would not gain any spots. This race is a nice finish to a season; relays at pig, team trials and Billygoat are focus of new training season (Spring 2006),
