Note
Good race today but still lots to improve. Lost about 4 min so not great. Would have been more happy if I didn't loose 1:30min on the second last control, I was within 10m of the boulder but didn't see the control so thought it was a bit further. Fun course and a nice (more) technical section in the end. Lets hope for a even better race tomorrow, should be pretty technical with all the cliffs and rocks. My leg felt pretty good today but not 100%, I think the running yesterday helped it get moving `after not running on it for 6 days, even though it was quite sore.

AM Flying Pig XIX/US Long Champs at Bat Cave at 1:10000 (ya 1:10 not 1:15). Had a pretty good race but some dumb mistakes. Ended up winning which was nice!
#1- a little hesitant once I got close to the control.
#5- just missed the control and climbed to the trail and then back to the control- 30s
#8-thought I was on the wrong trail so tried to cross over to the right one, I was on the right trail so I crossed to know where, relocated quickly- 1min.
#16- looked at the right boulder and thought I saw the W side of the boulder and didn't see a control so figured I was too far left so ended up climbing too much, figured it out quickly and went back to the original boulder where the control was- 1:25min.
Avoidable mistakes- 2:55 min.
My leg felt a lot better than yesterday but not perfect. Pretty decent race for me, with not too many mistakes. Would have liked to be able to run a little faster in some parts and on some hills but know I could have if I was feeling 100%. Cool out around 4C to start? my hands were numb in the first 5 min, I had to take my compass off and blow on my hands, gradually warmed up to around 8C.
