LAOC day 2. Right away this course was different, more technical and a bit rough (lots of deadfall on the early legs). I was not yet into the map, obviously, as I climbed the wrong hill on the way to 1, and took a while to admit it.
Still brain dead on the way to 2. How can one forget which reentrant you are moving along, and suddenly get it mixed up with another, smaller side reentrant? was almost at 2, convinced myself it was one reentrant too far, and I went back the way I'd come. Really? You would think I would get beyond such stupid self-delusional thoughts by now....
Three was a case of not reading the detail in the control circle, and that the control was not in the bottom of the reentrant, but up the hill.
After that I settled down a bit, but I was moving slow and hesitantly.
Was on track to 10, but I stayed too low, and spent too much time (again!) looking for the marker before bailing out to the trail.
10 to 11 was brutal. Was on all 4's a lot of the way up, and stopped often to rest.
Overall, I enjoyed this course more because it required more map reading than yesterday.
Thanks to LAOC for mapping this beautiful spot, and hosting a great event!
