Running warm up/down 8:00 [2] 1.5 km (5:20 / km) shoes: O-Icebug Sisu 10.5
Some warm-up for US Middle Champs enforced by distance between car, finish area (checked out briefly) and start, and not much time to do it all (with AJ sick in the car and us letting him sleep in hotel as long as possible before departing.)

10th on Blue @ US Middle Champs, with the a reasonably clean run - others were also clean though, so this was still 3 minutes back. Connecting the bare rock patches at high speed was some of the most fun I've had orienteering in quite a while, and the variety vs. the day before just 2km's away was quite surprising - seemed closer to CO or SoCal orienteering, than GA orienteering.

9th on Blue @ US Long Champs, with the cleanest run of the bunch, according to AP. I also had a number of conservative routes, where I likely could've done better. And the off-trail, esp. downhill wimpiness of my R-ankle was still noticable. But I can't excuse it all, nor think of how I could've won. Kudos to the leaders, esp. Eric, who pulled off another Long win in a row, after a year(+?) of 'retirement'.

Warm-up for US Sprint Champs. Should've warmed up a bit longer, but not too bad... Some jogging around later (cooldown?)

16th on course 5 (US Sprint Champs) with a mostly clean run. A bit disappointed to get caught/passed by Will H. 1 minute, but not terrible. Scalped by Ali was worse ;) Better warm up, more intervals, might help...?
