Event: QOC Greenbelt
 

QOC Greenbelt Blue - was on second shift of beginner instruction again so didn't start until a few minutes after 1:30pm and got pretty much the full benefit of the day's elephant tracks through the remaining 5 to perhaps as much as 8 in places inches of snow. Though not on the bulk of the fairly long leg to 4, on which it looked as though most people took the option to the right with most of the running on a paved road - I won the leg but by a slightly smaller margin over Ken in percentage terms than on the course overall so maybe I can claim a moral victory but not that I necessarily improved on the wisdom of crowds when I diverged from it.

ETA: now that I notice how much time Ken lost getting to 1 (seemingly understated by the split analysis), it seems fair to conclude the right and left routes to 4 were almost identically good if executed competently.

MIght as well take credit for control pickup/cooldown. Just 6 controls with Sam dropping me off near the southernmost one so a pretty light assignment, even with the last two being water controls.
