Course 7 M45 3.0 km 15 controls
Foley Mountain set by Andrew C.
Technically I did very well. I found I was very focussed, not thrown by other runners and in good contact with the map to a very high degree so much so that I said to myself "no mistakes" coming into the go control. Except for once bearings great.
A few minutes after the finish I remembered: one mistake....4.. bad bearing but relocated back to the stream nexus which I always kept an eye on...then a good bearing like I should have done in the first place....oh well...no more than 4 minutes lost...probably would not have changed my placing.
Now here's the caveat...I walked and only ran to a very limited degree until control 14....then really pushed it from the go control...When I punched the finish however I was unsure that I actually registered so I punched again...1-2 seconds if the 2nd overwrote the first...we'll never know...but I don't really care since (at the time of leaving anyway) I was not beat by 1 s like in Montreal...
If I ran I'm not sure I would have felt steady in the terrain or even finished...
Thanks for the advice Stefan and the challenging course Andrew.
PS Looked at Route Gadget on Monday aft and also forgot about going wide out of 2 to the creek I remember thinking at the time to just get down to the stream and get away from all the rocks so maybe this one isn't quite spiked
