US Long Champs: 22.2km w/ ~600m of climb. Due to all the stream crossings I decide it would be better to wear regular O-spikes; foot not always happy with this desision during the race. Started out easy. Was pretty tired at the aid station but pushed myself to keep the pace up. Turns out my relative speed compared to others was pretty good. Drank a lot more than at the Highlander and the weather was cooler; that helped me a survive much better. Had some stupid moments but I was better about forcing myself to slow down determine a proper plan/solution and not just run in the direction of the control. I'm most happy with this.
