US Champs Sprint at Genesee Valley Park near Rochester, NY. Green course (2.4km SL, 50m climb, 19 controls). Nice course by Mike Lyons. Map printing wasn't very good so it was hard to see the mapped paths, especially in yellowish areas. Weather was a little warm, 70's and mostly sunny when I ran.
Had an OK run. Blew the route choice from 7-8 when I didn't notice that I could get past the fence to the NW and took a longer route to the break to the SE. Lost 30-40 sec. Also lost some time going to 9 (10-15 sec) when I followed a herd path into some green thinking it would lead to the bag (it didn't). Placed 4th in M60, far enough back from the speedsters that even an error free run wouldn't have been fast enough.
Took the right route going 3-4 which I think is the faster way (and certainly the safer route based on what I could see on the map at the time). I think that taking the same bridge for 10-11 was the better route, but I didn't do that.
