Event: Flying Pig XIX - U.S. Individual Champs - Sprint-Middle-Long
 

I haven't done too many sprints recently, but it was really fun. My only two big mistakes were on numbers 7 and 14. I lost around two minutes on each. Before the race I was really nervous about controls being on the second levels of buildings, but thankfully there was only one and I noticed on my clue sheet so I didn't miss it. There were a few places that I wouldn't say I messed up, but in an attempt to think fast I took the slower route. It was tricky finding the fastest route quickly with all the impassable walls everywhere. So it was a pretty good race, but those two mistakes cost me a lot of time.

Sprint - 7 Green J 10 F-21 - Splits

Long plane fight. I managed to sleep a bit, but it was uncomfortable. The second plane was much easier to sleep in though

First set 6-1 and second set was 6-2. Even though my partner and I won, our school lost

Event: BAOC: Sunol
 

Great coarse set by Matej! I just happen to make all the bad route choices. I did way more climbing than I should have and took the worst route from 6-7 (the really long leg) I literally went through the two horribly steep re-entrants that were full of poison oak (already have some on my hand, hopefully its from the hike yesterday though) so after finally finding my way out of that horrible area I did good until I got to number 11 which I again did not take the optimal route and had a lot more unnecessary climb. Even though I did not do very well I learned a ton and hopefully I made all the mistakes for the week there and not in Kentucky ;)
