Radio Orienteering race 1:05:42 [4] *** 6.5 km (10:06 / km)
spiked:9/12c shoes: X-Talon 212
US ARDF Champs Fox-O at Eno River. Imre beat me by only 30sec, silver finish, and 2nd or 3rd fastest time across all classes so pretty good run. Smooth most the way but part of that 30 sec was hesitating / stopping counting controls to make sure I was going to all the controls (see: my 2018 World ARDF Champ's Fox-O disaster / accidental skip of a control), and a lot of the rest was going down a hill I should have stayed high on that I had to go back up. Had some hesitations along the way multiple other times. Lots of contouring. Nice to see a real Fox-O that required good orienteering skill as too many become too easy yellow/orange, so this was a great course.
Went out with Gavin and Elise in Gavin's Fox-O after finishing my race. Gavin did great and found 2 TXs all by himself. Becca ran her first Fox-O today and did pretty well Elise fell asleep riding on my shoulders. Very hot aftwrwards. What this all means is I'm exhausted!!
