Event: ICO Yellowwood
 

ICO Yellowwood Meet attempt at the Red course. After overnight rain, the trails and hillsides were slick and the hills seemed even steeper than I remembered - I should have started on the Green. Big mistake on C2 where I descended further west than intended and mistook the big stream for the smaller stream leading to C2 and ended up near to C9. I should have used my compass to avoid the parallel error. Recovered by walking S to the foot of the ridge and the easterly stream system to C2. I was an hour out at C3 so decided to cut off the north controls and skipped over to C9. The southern controls had less brutal climbs but I ended up only getting 9 through 16 and finishing without C17 and C18 at 3 hours.
