COC Middle Open course 4 at Foley Mountain. A most embarassing and disappointing event for me. Got stuck in the Lost Vortex at control 6, which resulted in a few relocations that cost me a very, very, very, large amount of time. All of the other controls were hit quite reasonably well, so it was a great and frustrating disappointment for me. Definitely need more practice. The up-side? I didn't give up, although the temptation was there.
Twisting my ankle at the fourth control and taking a few good tumbles didn't help with my focus or confidence either. I guess I need to toughen up! The terrain was not meant for running on - it was very rocky (small, wobbly, slippery ones!). I helped a lady who had fallen and couldn't get back up just before control 2. Hope she finished her course in good shape. Was happy to see that both Andrew and Francis had excellent results on their courses.
