Difficult and long course, took a little too much time getting into the course at #1 (+3) and #2 (+5) which was the longest leg of the course (long legs continue to be a weak point). #3 was better (+1) and 4 and 5 were spikes. The wheels came off at #6, (+11), I got confused by a lot of parallel features, and the denseness of the map in that area. #7 was a bit better (+6) and 8 was only +1. #9 was a spike, and #10, being another long leg, slowed me down a bit (+5). On this one I just ran the road instead of going cross country. The last four controls were spikes, better late than never! Net aggregate error was about 32 minutes, clearly not the best run! Excellent terrain and map, plus a well run meet!
