Brown course on the Doubling Gap map at Colonel Denning SP, 4.2 km, 165m climb. Temp was about 76 when we arrived and started, rising to low 80s when I finished. Humidity was a factor so it was draining to move through the woods.
When I checked results (no printouts available as the printer was balky today), I was 4th on brown, with the best time being around 65 minutes (65, 68, 73). Pretty clean on almost all of them although moving slowly.
3-4 was an angle-up-a-hill leg, and I was a bit low crossing the second reentrant, but it happened that my #6 control was near that one and I saw a flag so went close enough to confirm the number was actually my #6, and corrected my attack from there.
#7 was a slog, cross the valley and climb 11 contours on the other side to a reentrant, only to turn around and head back down for the next leg. I waded streams twice--once on the way to 3, and the other time near the dam where I didn't want climb to the dam or swing out wide to the road. A lady sitting and reading at the gazebo where the control flag was must have been amused.
Didn't always pace count which might have been helpful to confirm distances but did okay nevertheless. Enough other map information to navigate by.
Thanks to Rob Wilkison and SVO for another great training day.
