US Long Champs at Middlesex Fells. Felt I had my best race of the last 2 weeks with a fairly error free long. Was running a bit cautiously so wasn't terribly fast, but made sure to have a plan for every leg before I got to the previous control. 23/35, winner Eric Bone 79 minutes. Had a 30s attacking error on 2, 30s fence corner confusion on 7, 30s roundabout route on 8, 1:30 on my worst mistake of the day on a blown attack on 13, and 30s on a poor route on 16, for 3:30 total errors. Lost about a minute on the flagged run between 16 and 17 when I stopped to take a gel and then fumbled my other gel and had problems getting it back in my pants pocket.
