Georgia U.S. Championships M60 Green Middle. Well, I'm pretty disappointed in my performance. Two terrible controls, probably 15 minutes lost between them, and for no real reason that I can tell. A loss of concentration, a couple of minutes go by, and suddenly I can't account for where I've been or what I'm seeing. Relocation was hard in this terrain, so after a few minutes I bailed out each time, on #1 back to the start, and on #16 back to the finish. No problems on the re-do, and not doing anything obviously different, either.
Aside from those lapses, a pretty good run in enjoyable terrain. From 2-15 I was having a fine time, staying in contact and moving well, making safe route choices while keeping a tight line. Too bad about the endpoints.
This was a fine meet, and well organized. The start crew on both days could have been a little more forceful about announcing times and names. I nearly missed my starts each day although I was standing right there, just didn't know I was called up. The maps were good and courses challenging, and remarkably different on the two days, especially considering that they were in the same park.
