Event: OCIN TROL #3 - Sebald Park
 

Sebald Park, Red

I had a good time. I mention this because Sebald is the park where a piece of dark green construction paper would work for a good chunk of the map. To be fair, there are some trails through this and Mike did not keep us mired in the honeysuckle the whole time; the end of the race was pretty quick.
Performance wise, there were good things. I managed to keep my focus on moving quickly and transitioning for the majority of the legs. There was one huge and one significant error. Control 3, I tried to be cute and take the high trail and run back from 4 to 3. The hillside around 3 had some features; a very faint trail, some rocky ground, and maybe some boulder piles. The honeysuckle was really dense and I missed. It took 3 tries to get this for an 8 min error. I overran the correct reentrant for 16 as well. I was happy and surprised that I held this to 1.5-2 min lost. On the other side, I moved fast for some parts and there were some other technical controls that I hit really solidly.

Event: ICO Camp Belzer
 

Camp Belzer Green 6.1 k

This run was poor, not grim, just blah. I botched C7 in a part of the map that felt like the Bermuda triangle. Some other legs were fine but I just didn't have a confident feel moving through the woods, many bits of sloppiness. Technically, the course was a mix of intermediate and advanced legs but long green (It would require some care to force a course to be all advanced; maybe we should try running two brown courses some year?). Also, the last few legs showed this maps need of some touchups.
