Boulder Dash Brown day 2, course by Alar Ruutopold ("LR")
3.4 km, 130m, similar weather as Saturday warming up a bit more in the afternoon.
Good on 9 controls, with a slight miss on 6, a bigger miss on 2 because I couldn't quite read what was going on even with bifocals, a magnifier, *and* a 1:7500 map....and total headless chickening on number 10 (code 156), which I had actually stumbled upon on Saturday trying to relocate to find #11. D'oh!!! Attacked twice from the double boulders due north at the south end of the green marsh but must have been off line one way or the other and never saw the bag. After the second miss I relocated from where the trail meets the clearing just north of the Go control, and *still* missed it, hitting Green's reentrant control east of the marsh. A 5 minute leg turned into almost 29. Dropped from 2nd F60 to 5th.
I enjoyed the rest of the course: the "between a rock and a hard place" location of #3, the scenery at the water control #7 on the bare rock in mid-stream (though technically it was a yellow control), and properly reading what was happening at #8. The award prizes of mesh bags with the Boulder Dash logo look really nice (Glen got one).
The elusive "two good days" weekend wasn't happening this time. The GPS track should be interesting.
