Event: QOC Combat Village
 

QOC Combat Village Blue - ran without a compass as I have been at local meets in general this season. Unwise in this case - Combat Village is clearly somewhere I need a compass, at least Combat Village East. I might have got away with it with little time lost if we'd been running on Combat Village West - I think East had generally thicker vegetation when the maps were new but I don't think the difference was quite as much as it has since become, judging by the terrain I saw last spring and today. I made a few large parallel errors amid the broad reentrants and spurs, with the first truly epic one beginning as I wandered too far south of my intended course crossing the stream floodplain on the way to 3.

Achilles tendon held up to running and didn't bother me much during the event. Feels a bit inflamed again in the aftermath.

Blue - Splits

2/3 of the time I spent doing a first sweep of India Point for mapworthy features and taking a track on all or almost all of the remainder of the MTB trail network I didn't get to last weekend.
