NAOC Relay Leg 1
Nothing like a relay to make you run hard.
Speedy start (was totally faster than Anton) and I was off with the boys. Lots of twisty trail network and green forest made route choices interesting! I went around on a lot of routes because the woods were v tiring. 4-6 were in the woods outside of the biathlon ski trails and it was a big shift in navigation style. I was a re-entrant early to 4 and then again too early to 5. Was caught by Kendra and Tori here as we trudged up the wall covered in moss to 6. I got a bit ahead by the spectator loop but then almost missed the turn in the chute and Tori and I were neck in neck. It was time for the rocket blasters!
Made up roughly 2 mins in the last loop to hand off to Pia in 1st!
So happy for our 2nd place team overall despite the foot/ankle injuries we all suffered through!
