| The full map (other then one control at the bottom) |
I looked forward to the Long. Last year if I hadn't mis-punched then it would have been my best result. I knew that the format was less technical but expected hard parts to appear on the course. Right from the beginning I was ready for a difficult leg and braced myself for it. Unfortunately when I flipped my map then I was met with a simple leg once again, and had no problem with it. I nailed every leg up to 4 which I ended up overshooting and loosing a minute. This was my only significant navigational mistake during the whole race. I was able to make correct plans and route choices for pretty much every other control.

| Punching the spectator control |
The terrain was relatively easy with one very difficult control where even the winner slowed down to a walking pace. Otherwise, some areas were more technical then others but it was all bearable. I had a fantastic run otherwise and it ended up being my best result this year, 80th place, a decent number to work off of towards the future with 4 more years of JWOC ahead of me. Next year my goal is to solidly place into the A-final and optimally come in top 30.
