This was always going to be a realy fun race. I love dunes. I started out slow and really got into the navigation. Towards # 8 i was starting to get cocky and was brutally pulled back into line by a lovely parallel error. I ended up thinking i was one clearing south of where i actually was. This was followed up by another error on 10 and then i was settle back down and had a clean couple of controls. Then #14 happened. I went out to the beach thinking i would be able to find a decent attack point to lead me back into the dunes and then the control. No. No there was no attack point and decided to revisit 5 before tackling 14. After that epic blowout i mananged a pretty smooth end to the course. Not sure how i pulled that off...
