Long distance Green Y at West Point National Meet. A physically difficult course with rocky footing most of the time and lots of unmapped vegetation (mostly blueberry). Map has lots of bare rock patches mapped, which I'm not sure are that helpful for navigation.
A pretty good run, all things considered. I knew I was starting a cold, so decided I should focus primarily on being as clean as possible rather than trying to push the pace. A little time lost on the first control, a dot knoll in unmapped high bush blueberry. Lost some time on 8 by climbing too high coming out of 7 (which was on bare rock on a ridiculously steep hillside - lots of other options nearby, so that location wasn't really necessary). Hesitated approaching 9 when I didn't see a bag on the top, as described, but then saw the bag on the side of the knoll. 2nd in M60, 8th overall on Green Y. Ended up 1st in M60 for three-day total time - won a plastic canteen.
