I was going to test run a couple of courses for the B meet today, but when I forgot to print maps last night I found my old A meet map to draw the course on. Turns out my spacial subconscious is more powerful than I thought. Despite not being able to pinpoint any of Joe's control sites if you have asked me, my Red course was almost identical, but in reverse. In fact, the long long finished on Joe's course and started on mine at EXACTLY THE SAME LOCATION. I finished my leg about 200m from the start of his. Spooky huh? Anyways, I guess that means I should go back to the drawing board...

This is exactly why I didn't want to use Huntington for this Meet. Joe's course still stands as one of my all time favourites.

Spent all day (just recording one hour, it was slow though there was some cross country) walking in Huntington with some NH friends of ours who are also leaving town in the very near future. It serendipitously managed to be the next State Park on the list (That's Collis P. Huntington, doncha know?) and also the place I need to be for meet planning.

I now have some better ideas but I am still unhappy with the shape of my courses. We'll see what my Dad can do. In good news, today is the first day that I have reached the evening without feeling utterly exhausted, so hopefully whatever was wrong is well on the way out. Fingers crossed!
