US Team Trials Middle Distance
Fun course, disappointing race. I'd been racing with a chip on my shoulder the last two weekends that somehow fueled my racing and gave me an extra gear that was just missing today. I felt like I sleepwalked through the course, never pushing to the limits and yet still managing to make a couple of mistakes (15 sec on 4, 30 sec on 11, 45 sec on 15). Ended up 2 minutes behind Eric. Nate Lyons had a great race and finished 2nd.

US Team Trials Sprint
Another really fun course by Greg and Sergei, though the map had a couple of imperfections, one of which cost me. I felt surprisingly good physically and was running well through 14 controls (3rd overall, 0:13 behind Ross) when I lost 44 seconds on #15 - I ran through an unmapped passage through the green and thought the control I saw had to be women's, since it was not where I expected it to be. Made a loop through the next patch of green and came back to check that control, which turned out to be mine. Argh. Then also overran #18 by a few steps - another 10 seconds gone.
Great race by Patrick - that's how sprints should be run!
