I was sore from yesterday which was sore from Thursday. Still decided to do the blue course eventhough I wasn't in shape for it. This was the first time I have run on this map with a course I didn't set. It was fun to follow someone elses course for a change. Generally, I was slow. I was warm (50's) but raining/pouring. The side hills were very slick. There was one case where I slid backwards trying to leave a stream area.
Lost time at #2 because I misread the control number. Screwed up later on following the wrong line (6-10) Control 7 and 10 were very close to each other. Messed up later when I went to control 19 then started to navigate right back to 18.
Courses didn't use any of the technical areas which was disappointing.
Glasses were useless so I was doing big feature orienteering and choosing routes to avoid some of the slde hills.
GPS says I travelled 6.2 miles in the 9.2K course.

Volunteered to help pick up controls. I had to wait around for 45 minutes so didn't want to change my pants/shoes. Feet got cold. I had to pickup the farthest controls. I only had 4 controls to pick up but traveled almost 4 miles to do them.
I was too tired to run so ended up walking a lot.
