Nate at JWOC

So, Nate returns to JWOC for the 4th year in a row, this time in Slovakia, and the first race was today.  He had been the top American in the Sprint the past two years, but this year was second to Andrew Child.

The JWOC 2012 web site is here.  Today they had decent live results with three radio controls (two were right before the finish) and the finish.  Sadly, no online audio coverage as in some past years.

Tomorrow is the Long race, followed by a rest day, then the Middle qualifier on Wednesday, finals on Thursday and the Relay on Friday.

The highlight of today was the fact that Andrew and Nate were just 18.6% and 21.5% behind the winner, which is the best US one-two performance since 2006, when Erin Schirm and Michael Sandstrom were just 15.3% and 15.8% behind.
