Definitely was not prepared to do any sprinting today; atmosphere at Charlie's was just so relaxed. But, it appeared that the Team of Balter and myself would be battling the Team of Becky and Ed, so I had to try to run somewhat fast. Balter came in first but I forgot to clear my e-punch, and then I was confused trying to orient the map to the first control. Becky came in and tagged of to Ed and he took off crazy fast. I got my shit together and went in for the chase. Took first few controls together but then I took a different route to 4(?) and did not see Ed again but thought he was ahead of me. This was a super easy trail course but my calves were still shot from Friday's workout so I felt like I couldn't move fast, plus it was ridiculously humid out.

So Balter got sort of lost on his second sprint and tagged off to me a minute or so behind Ed. I was finally warmed up to do some running but this second sprint was not for beginners and involved bashing through through mtn laurel, and so was slower than the first. I caught up to Ed and mistakenly followed him to #6, realized situation wasn't right and attacked the control again without telling him, hehe. Messed up #9, and basically the whole thing was rather sloppy on my part. As a team we finished first anyway :) But, kudos to Becky for kicking our butts on these sprints.

A little jog on trails followed by nice burgers and socializing.
Shocker: WCOC's board meeting was 13 minutes.
