Quantico Classic, Day 1 Middle Distance, Green. Not a very satisfactory performance. Bad mistake on 4 (went to 5 first, thought it was 4, realized my mistake when things didn't look right) and even worse mistake on 6 (thought I was on a bearing straight to it, was actually a long way off, should have relocated immediately but I kept thinking it was right there).
Looking at the gps route, I see I was pretty far off the line all the way, until the last few controls. That was certainly not my plan, so something to think about.

Quantico Classic Relay. Lead-off runner on QOC's 9-point team, followed by Alex and Michael. I had a solid run, and fell into a pattern: navigated on my own towards the next control, then as I got close I could follow others into the control. That's the nice thing about running first leg. Alex and Michael ran well, but we were outclassed by NEOC (Jeff, Tim, Kristin -- what a powerhouse!).
