US Champs. Middle distance. M21 Blue.
Expected the course to be very technical and it was. Was in contact with map most of the time until cp 14 which was a short run and did not look dangerous but I just lost concentration and 5 minutes along with it. Looking at the GPS log it turned out that I just missed the CP on my very first attack as I did not look on the right side of the hilltop before making a decision to check another one. Over than that a little of hesitation approaching #4 but the rest was clean and straight. 42nd out of 60.
