Day 1 at the Batona 500. Interesting terrain, very flat and filled with knee high blueberry bushes that tired me out about halfway through the course. A good run, I stayed on the map and didn't waste effort - EXCEPT for 16-17 where I just couldn't line things up, then failed to execute my relocation plan. Stupid brain. Not very high in the rankings due to the quality of competition, but a decent run for me.

Short sprint for the US team fundraiser. Fun course, fast through open fields.

Long sprint, also a decent run except for a leg where I caught in a maze of thorns. One bad leg...
