West Point, NY. I felt much better today after a decent sleep. With a Long course that required less precise map reading along the way than the Middle and Sprint yesterday, and terrain that was a lot easier to run through, I did much better. I doubt that my routes were optimal on the long legs but going straight over the tops did at least keep me on course mostly. I bobbled controls 4, 7, 12, 14, and 15 but pretty much hit all the others. I spiked #16 where AP shows I lost +2 minutes but I probably was just too slow climbing to it on the steep and blueberry covered ride. With the exception of #15, everytime I missed, I corrected straight to the control. Like yesterday, I finished with a tick on me that was starting to attach.
