Event: MNOC Autumn Adventure Run #2
 

Definitely not stellar navigation tonight. Some I can blame on the conditions (cold drizzle building up on my glasses made it hard to see anything), but I also made some careless errors.

I got a bit disoriented from 3 to 4; completely missed 6 and had to go back out to the trail to re-attack; started to 8 by compass, looking for the copse, saw the trees and headed toward them, but they were the wrong trees; going to 10 I was watching my compass and was veering a little to the left, which should have been perfect to hit the marsh, but I missed it to the right (I was not the only one with trouble on this control); I left 14 the wrong direction and came out to the road on the wrong side of the intersection (fortunately I glanced back and saw the stop sign, so I knew where I was).

The double visibility whammy of night and drizzle/rain really bit me. Hopefully conditions next week will be better.

Not much running happened here... A lot of walking and gasping for breath.
