Note
DOMS in thighs and calves, see previous. Serves me right, not much training recently. Shoes could be a factor...

Ansonia, Blue. This is the best place ever. Very glad I made the right decision to drive down, rather than to try to go flying on a day that turned out to be too gusty with showers. When I was out in the woods, though, it was perfect weather for that, quite warm for November.
Screwed up #2, the long leg, due to inattentiveness. I was just heading the right general direction, not paying enough attention to my compass, and mistook some features for some other features and drifted way right, up by #7. Then I blew #2, went pretty much right past it, but I was distracted by the herd of turkeys that I had just run through (that seemed to pay me no mind), and I hadn't looked at the cluesheet to see that I was looking for a reentrant. The only issue I have with this map has to do with the printing -- the copy I had today, at least, has the brown kind of light/thin, so I have trouble seeing the contours, especially in areas where there's a lot of black, and this may have been a factor in this case. Once I got past those two mistakes, I settled down and was basically clean, although with my current level of conditioning, pathetically slow. Caught Phil at #15 (right after his tragic error), and beat him to the finish on route choice. I also got passed by Andreas Wibron on the way to #6 (like I was standing still) but I finished ahead of him due to his big mistake on #9.
GPS track is a little wonky on 17-18; the loop at the control that it shows did not happen, and my route was actually pretty damn straight. And I didn't fishhook the finish, either.
