NAOC Club Relay
I ran for a QOC relay team in the "Advanced" category. The lineup was Alli - Vido- Boris. There were a lot of teams entered, but I thought that with a good performance we could fight for a top three position. Alli did her job perfectly, and exchanged just over 5 minutes behind the overall lead, and only 4 behind the NAOC club lead, in 17th. Vido was solid, and sent me out in 14th overall / 10th NAOC, still about 4 minutes behind NAOC club lead. I started fast and reeled in several people right away. And then, coming out of 1, I lost focus, crossed the wrong trail and completely lost it. Ended up losing over 3 minutes and our chances at a top result. We ended up 11th overall and the 7th NAOC club team. Relays are so much fun, I wish we had more of them!
It was then time to spectate the NAOC National Team Relay. Also really fun, though less of a relay feel with so few teams entered.
