Sprint in the intricate town of Castelmola. Quite a lovely town, very narrow winding streets with lots of stairs. 1:1500 map, so kind of like a stone corn-maze, except all those stairs! Very fun, but alas, slow. Well behind the winner, about 7 minutes. He had been here before, which is certainly worth something in this terrain, but not nearly worth 7 minutes! Ended up 7th out of 16, so a little improvement.
Relive
As for my navigation, I was a little loose on the way to 1, and not sure if I covered some extra distance. Lucky to relocate and get it. A slight missed turn going to 4, but only a short way. Otherwise going right to them, but just slow, particularly going up and down the stairs.
Started raining when I was at about halfway, and by the time I finished it was pouring, and rained on and off the rest of the day. Had pizza and beer with some of the Norwegians, then ran into the Italian organizers, Gabriele and Giulia and the bunch, and had coffee with them while they had lunch. The a bus ride to Taormina, where I saw the old Greek Teatro, one of the largest of the ancient theaters in the world, got rained on some more and then the bus ride back. A lot of riding.
Had something of an unsettled night, up several times for 15 minutes to an hour at a time, then slept soundly until 7:55 - almost missed the bus leaving at 8:20. I suppose I'll have to set an alarm, something I never have to do at home.
