US Long Champs at Bishop Lake Michigan
I guess I was not focused at the start as I lost 10 minutes on the first control. I was 25 meters and one little green hill away from the control. That cost my energy and my mojo. I also can say I was tired and didn’t take a hotel wake up shower ha ha. It was freezing at the start too.
The rest of the course was nice and last mistake cost 2 minutes was taking the trail around to the 2nd to last control as I was scared of the green woods :-(
Ended up 7 or 8 th

One mistake when I overshot a rootstock in the first woods part of the course. Than st the finish I stood there for 5 seconds before I punched because there were the map box’s lined up and I thought I was at the start Duh.

2nd sprint today and I’m 23 seconds back. Probably as smooth of a run as I could have and pushed me to a 2nd Gold in the sprint event. Welcome to the M- 65 Medicare age group.
Good weather till the awards and the wind and cold kick up. Drove to Michigan in lots of rain and wind.
