Round 1 of the Sprint Series Finals at Pawtuckaway. I felt pretty good and ran decently well, except for a couple little bobbles. It's hard to be too far off when running with Mike Waddington. I eased up some at the end when it was clear that I would finish 2nd (and thus advance to the next round).
While running from #7 to #8, I whacked my left hand really hard on a stick--hard enough to break the skin in a few places. It hurt a lot, and at first, I thought I had broken it.

Sprint Finals round 2: I had several small hesitations and small bobbles in this race, such that I kept falling behind slightly and having to catch up to Sergei and Mike. On each of the legs 7-8 and 10-11, I lost time on Sergei and Mike taking a different route through the clearing. I ended up chasing Mike from the second to last control but falling several seconds short of catching him, so I took 3rd and want to the consolation final.

Consolation heat of the Sprint Finals. Still frustrated with my run from the previous round, I took the unwise approach of setting out to run the course really fast; this backfired, of course, as I made (sometimes substantial) mistakes on controls 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 13. Fortunately, I had the legs to recoup my loss each time, and during the second loop, I buckled down and resolved to navigate the rest of the course, rather than just running, and I ended up 1st by narrowly outkicking Wyatt Riley on the last couple controls.
