US Nationals Middle at St. Patrick’s Park near South Bend, IN. Brown B course - 2.9k, 40m climb - M65, F55, F60. Pretty much a sprint course with only about 4 moderately technical controls. Definitely favored the runners.
Lost 1.5 - 2 minutes on control 5 when I failed to take the time to carefully read the details in the control circle. A little off on 10 but spotted the bag from a ways off. Probably could’ve pushed harder on controls 8 to 11 in the woods but was focusing on hitting them accurately. Nice course for the area but I’m not sure I’d consider this championship terrain.
About 50F with light rain starting just about as I started and continuing through the race. Finished 4th in M65, 6 seconds back of Steve Tarry but almost 2:30 behind Charlie S. Also 4th (of 17) overall on Brown B.
