Good Forest Sprint done by Louie. We had about 35 at the meet. This was straight through the woods stuff. Map had some problems it did not get updated in places. My problem control here was #6. I ran from 5 to 6 1st time did not see it. Went back to 5 took a bearing and still did not find it. I was headed back to 5 to use a bearing and pace count when I stumbled over it. Several unmapped pits around the pit with the control did not help me, but I should have taken a bearing in the first try.
I ran the course without a clue sheet of any kind. Louie wanted everyone not to look at their map until they hit the start. Great but I was to #1 before I realized no clue sheet. So I just ran to the circle on the map and hoped that the control was there.

This time I had a clue sheet. This was the second sprint. I am still not kicking into my highest speed gear. Part is mental, I was told if I fall, I will go back to day 1 condition so that is making me more slow down. Part is physical, still don't have the conditioning back yet.
No real issues here. Another thru the woods sprint. I was glad to have the insect guard clothes on. I was running straight thru the high grass and brush, no worries. I had gotten so tired of being bitten. Much better now with the right uniform.
