Green Day 1 at US Classic Champs in Uwharrie National Forest. Mostly open woods with excellent visibility. 3m contours so things were a bit subtle. Mapping of rock was different than usual but useful once you understood it. Sunny and in the 50's, nearly perfect.
A good run. Lost contact on the way to #8 but recovered fairly quickly and only lost 2-3 min. Lost 20-30 seconds on #11 being off to the right (also took a fall on this leg and banged my knee).
No FR trace - didn't want to hassle with a taped display to keep me from cheating. With a GPS I'm sure I could've matched Joe B's 41 min for the course. :-)
