Except for the fact that I could've taken a better route from 2-3, I was very happy with this run. Saw Sandy here and there from 2-6 and got past her when I left the trail just a bit sooner to 6 and spiked the control. Lots of fast runners in our class; I was happy to be in the top 10 which was my goal for the weekend (I managed 9th today).
Took a slightly longer but ultimately safer route, I think, to 9, taking the big trail past the marshy area and attacking from between the spur and the dot knoll...came back out the same way to head to 10.
Now why couldn't I have put it all together like this last weekend at the US Champs?
