Pig - race three. Nice woods and a good course. Felt a bit sluggish in the beginning but got off to a good start. Got into some trouble to 6 and drifted too much to the right to 7. At this point I was almost 2 min behind Mattias. I had a good race from 7 to finish - legs felt better, nice flow technically but I never got closer than 30 sec. Finished 40 sec behind Mattias in second, but that's still a result I am pleased with.

Pig - race two. Long distance. A very good race for most part. Had some problems with the first one and dropped perhaps 1.5 min but after that - all went well. Good focus and I was trying to keep a good pace. The steeper hills had to be walked but I felt I recovered relatively quickly once the climb was over. One control after the other was visited with no problems, except 20 sec or so on the long, until 4th last where I got seriously stuck in some super nasty thorns and almost panicked, didn't know how to get out. Eventually made it, but I had turned 90 degrees so I lost a minute or so on that one. Overall a very good race and nice with a win,.

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XVIII / US Interscholastic Champs
 

Pig - race one. Middle. New area with nice woods. Few thorns although there was a big, fast moving river that had to be crossed multiple times. First two controls went really well but dropped my head somewhere going to three and started to read/thinking I was on the hill where the control was located even though I yet had to cross a big valley. Not sure what really happened but it cost me 5 minutes. Did another minute a few controls later but the rest was good.

Nav practice today for the Attackers. Lots of snow in the woods.

Squeezed in a little run while Isak had a floorball practice. Mtn Brow and rail trail. Some grass, some snow, some asphalt, some ice.

Legs feel not too bad. Quads a bit sore from the pounding and hamstrings a bit tight but, again, not too bad.
