Flying Pig training day (also Day 2 of US Classic Champs) in Uhwarrie NF. Good course, not so good a run. Lost about 10 minutes total on controls 7, 9, and 11, all due to not checking the compass carefully enough. Woods were nice, weather was perfect (40ish at start, warming up nicely by the time I finished and sunny). Ended up 4th overall in M55. No FR today either.

Green Day 2 - Splits

Event: Birkhead Wilderness Classic (US Classic Champs)
 

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. :-)
