US Relay Champs

This weekend, I'll run the U.S. Relay Champs in McCall, Idaho. I should say a few words about the event:

CSU is the team to beat. I haven't looked at the start lists. I don't know who is going to be at the race. But, I'll go ahead and pick CSU (last year's champs) as the team to beat.

Orienteer Kansas will, as usual, have two teams. OK has had two teams at the relays for a good six or seven years. The relays is always one of the highlights of the year. OK is always there.

The "four point" OK team hasn't been impressive the last two years (due largely to some injuries and illnesses). Look for us to do a good bit better this year. We might not be strong enough to take a medal. But, good, clean runs by Dan, Peggy, me and Mook should give us a decent result.

The race is at altitude. McCall sits at about 5,000 feet. That's high enough to feel the altitude, but not so high that I struggle terribly. I'll need to be a bit careful to avoid pushing too hard (especially up hills).

Last year's Idaho meet featured some weak mapping. I'm hoping we'll see better maps this year. Hoping, but not counting on it.
