US Classic Champs Day 1 on Badger Gulch map near Lake George, CO. Very open and runnable with lots of small rocky point features, some of which were mapped, and a technical rocky area. Good course with several controls in the rocky area and a very fast second half in the flatter area.
Not my day. Big error on the first control, then some GI issues which made it so I had to do quite a bit of walking in the second half of the course (altitude may have also been a factor). Way down in the placings and about 13 minutes behind the fastest M60. 10 minutes of navigational error plus a few minutes lost walking. Straight line distance 7.5km.
