USA Long Champs in Thatcher State Park, Albany, NY.
Better run than yesterday as learned to use trails as much as possible. Actually lots of trail/road variants today. Lost somewhere around 3 to 4 minutes overall on small mistakes and hesitations. Very good nutrition plan that worked marvelously (1 gu each 30 minutes and drinks at each water station). At #10 woman manning the controls told me that something is with my daughter. Spent around half minute trying to understand what happened but she didn't have much information. At #14 the person there confirmed that Masha had twisted ankle and waits for me at the finish. That was a relief! Thanks to lots of trail variants - I would not be able to pull the race to the end as thoughts about Masha ran in my head all the way to the finish. It was such nice to hear her cheering at the finish!

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped her to get to the finish from the woods and to paramedics who took care of her before I arrived! And to all the people who came later to cheer up and support her afterwards!

We surely had fun with weelchairs and go-carts on the way home at all airports :)

Event: US Short and Long Championships
 

USA Short Champs in Thatcher State Park, Albany, NY.
So so run as made two big mistakes on #2 and #9. Lost somewhere around 3 to 4 minutes overall. Very rocky in places and trashed green woods. It is good that leaves didn't come out yet in full force. At least got the idea that best is to use trails and roads as much as possible. Didn't like map in some places (specially around #2 and #9 :). Almost broke leg in those crevices on the top flat portion. After this accident always treated these crevices with proper respect.
