Note
I feel like noting down what I am learning at my Agriculture course. The course is a mixture of learning about agriculture practices and controversies and hands on food prep and use skills. Also, we get to visit different farms to speak with farmers and talk with industry peoples.
Day 1!
Knife skills, vegetable cuts, how to make mayonnaise from scratch, and how to use it as a base to make ranch dressing.

6 PM
Ultimate 1:02:52 3.24 km (19:24 / km) +2m 19:21 / km
ahr:150 max:187 shoes: Nike Hypervenom Cleats
1 female sub for the whole team... so swapping genders lots.
Really annoys me when the same people who refuse to let the team take on more players because it might infringe on their playing time are the same people who randomly don't show up, don't tell the team until the last minute, and don't find a sub for themselves when they are away or injured - RUDE!
The whole point of a larger roster is so that life can happen and people can take off or become injured without it impacting the team. #rant

RG | Splits by Course
I won the split to 1 lolz
Struggle fest from 2-3... Looking at the GPS I was executing my plan up until I didn't recognize what vegetation 'ridge' I was on.... figured it out... felt silly/dumb, and then navigated simply to 3 le sigh. I was quite happy that I was able to solve the problem and make meaning of what I had done from 2-3 and so felt at peace when deciding to dnf.
At the time I got to 3 I recognized I wouldn't have the time to finish the course before the 3hr time limit was up. So I picked up what I could as I navigated west to the road and back to the finish.
Each course is a learning experience and I feel like I learned A LOT!

My most enjoyable race :D
Once I conquered the long leg from 1-2 which was hesitant until I passed by 7 then I was good. Indecisive after 3 trying to decide to go straight on the same route I'd taken to 2... I dithered then choose the latter. Misread what 4 was as what 3 was so that took a minute. Straightforward to 8 made the correct route choice! The 1:10,000 made more sense to me than the sprint had.

So damn HOT out!
Toddling around on the model map. Quite overwhelming so I took it slow and checked out lots of things. Plus I have never been so scared of vegetation... WTF does poison ivy look like?!?!

Chill jog through the park. Spent too much time trying to locate one control that had been taken... le sigh. I think I took the most optimal route through all the controls :D
