First ever forest O' start in shorts and no shirt (excl. Wyoming 'forest'). Heat wasn't as bad as forecast (or as bad as it was later in the day), which combined with my attire made the heat a non-issue.
Worst issues were a rugged right rough choice on 10 (1 minute) and a hesitant direct route to 7 (vs. slightly right to simplify the nav. and smooth out the downhill a bit better) (30 seconds)
Enough for 4th, and a slot on the WOC 2011 team! Excited to go this year, based on the France technical terrain being similar to some Hamilton area stuff I've done well on in the past, and for enduring to become the oldest WOC team member this year. Looking forward to holding strong in my physical training in the next 2-3 months and putting my best foot forward in France.
