Went to St. Louis and test-ran the
M21 Day 3/WRE course of
the Trials. The course was fine, passing as it was for a WRE day, and the terrain was a blast; I haven't had this much fun orienteering at any A meet yet this year. I gave dWelsh and ebuckley some pointers on possible improvements, but don't expect it to change much. I was clean, only spending 3 minutes to look for a ribbon that was on the ground in pieces.
The pace was Level 3 for the first half, but then I felt worse with the cold—had trouble breathing out—and did quite a bit of walking in the second half. The length is preliminary but the climb is final, straight from the unit.
