Back to Little Truckee Summit for the Long Distance Brown. SL 5 km/95m
Good run on all but two controls, one of which was an unnecessary ~4 minute circle. I was near a control flag but didn't think it was mine, and didn't check the code. Hey, haven't I been here before?? After a little wander which included a few meters off the map I did finally check the code and of course it was mine. The next leg was a long run across a slightly marshy flat (but mostly just grass), a lot like the ones found in Laramie. Identify the proper wooded spur then find my boulder attackpoint, and then I even pace-counted the 100m I needed to go to my thicket. Spike. Very satisfying. Drifted left on the next long climbing leg but corrected off a boulder along a trail short of, and to the left of 8, a nice relocation point. Good last set of controls; boom, boom, boom, and in.
Because of my boo boo to 6, losing about 4 minutes, I was over a minute behind Ardis. And Penny DeMoss, who had run Red on the middle, ran her age class and beat us both by over 10 minutes. I think I was 6th woman on Brown today.
