SVO Oregon Ridge. Started late, and it was hot. The course was pretty physical, but there was no run in my legs. I could run downhill, but walked a lot of the flats. This seemed to be a problem with everyone, across the board. Too hot too early in the season, none of the cooling systems are working yet.
I made 2 errors, and both involved doing a lot more climb than was necessary, which seems like excessive punishment. I guess I just set my gears to climb, and kept on climbing like some mindless robot until I came to something totally unexpected, like the top of the ski slope (#1) or the powerline cut (#5).
It was nice to be back in these woods, though. The course avoided most of the newly logged areas, but the bits I went through weren't too brambly at this point. And the rest of it was very pleasant to plod through.
