Orienteering race 18:56 [4] ** 4.5 km (4:12 / km)
20c
Yuck, really bad race. Did stupid things on 8 and 10, bad route on 17. Most dishearteningly, I got crushed by the J - last year I was 1min behind him, this year I wouldn't have been very close to that even with a good run.
By my count there are five four true M21+ Americans at what is, theoretically, meant to be our national championships. I do not know what to say to people (for example, the Kiwis) when they question me incredulously about this sorry state of affairs.
