17c shoes: X-Talon 212
Day 2 Classic Champs
A mess --- missed control 2 by 200 m. Saw it but also saw water, checked my clue sheet, no water?! Decided I was maybe not sure where I was and wandered a bit before going and punching C2, the water control.
Drifted more than 250 m E on control 4 (3 min). Rhetorically asked myself, I couldn't be that far off, could I? Answered, yes I could and relocated directly to the control but the route was aweful.
A late control, C10, I made a big parallel error. Drifted right crossing a low ridge that had mirrored hilltops. In retrospect, I passed by the wrong one into a complicated valley with small reentrants around the edges but I didn't read the directions of the reentrants well. Couldn't find the bag, and ultimately moved to a similar complicated valley with small reentrants next door. This was >10 min; huge and painful these days but not so obvious until I was sitting and relaxed after the run.
C11: a touch high (15 s error)
C12: missed just off the E edge of the circle (20 s mostly of slow movement)
C15: ran 60 m NNE to a different dot knoll, distracted by others (1 min)
Even with this, it wasn't a disaster. I still enjoyed all of the other legs and the open running.
