Great course just like UW with some nice wooded terrain and lots of ope running. Finished 25 out of 70. Hoped I would do better but everyone was super good and fast. took some time to get used to all the details and the 1:5,000. Early on I was reading/walking alot when I could have just looked up and seen the control.

satuday middle course. It was tough and the competitors were running past me like I was an idiot. So many details on the map to follow i could barely run. It was ok as my goal was to get better with a technical map.
One issue and it was the same with the last A meet - It seems that the controls are hidden very well and unless you are very good at reading all sorts of little dots and slashes on the map, you could stand in the circle and spend minutes looking for the control until - BINGO. that was me I would carefully plod my way along to the circle get there and spend minutes looking behind boulders for the correct one. Kinda depression and not real fun on that part.
i was beat handily 23 out of 33.
The good runners are impressive to watch and they have some serious skilz. Kinda like getting passed by and expert in a mtn bike race.
