US Champs Sprint at Camp Wakpominee. I wanted a clean consistent race. I wanted to think about the navigation, and not the running. I tried some new techniques to get me focused, calm and ready at he start, and they worked well. I often start off a sprint race too fast, with too much adrenaline. But not today.
However, I might have been a bit too calm in the beginning, becuase I hesitated and made small bobbles on the 3 of the first 4 controls. But each time, I recovered quickly. Overall, I felt it was a steady race. I didn't think about running at all. Well, until the finish chute. I did try to win that split :)
Totally amazed to finish second in F50. That was nice.
My route.
