Score O at Patuxent park. My back was very sore so I was planning to just go for a walk/light jog. I chose the section of close in controls. Once I got going, my back loosened up and felt good. I got beat up in some other ways early in the course (ran into branch with my chest, stick in the eye, thorns across the hole body...
I kept coming up short during the course. I figured it was just because I running slow. I didn't realize it was a 1:15,000 map. Everything worked out ok. I was planning my last few controls and had enough time to run the distance but once I got to the road I could see it much farther than I expected. I had to run very hard the last bit to get back in time. I had 11 seconds to spare.
