First WPOC meet in almost a year. I forgot that strategy has to change here. Dived straight into the bushes to 1, and quickly found myself completely ensnared in thorns. Dumb. By the time I had worked myself free Sydney had already passed me. 2-14 went fairly smoothly. Then I made the worst parallel error ive made in YEARS on the last control, 15. There was a reentrant to spur to depression sequence that looked identical on two spurs, and I stopped short and went to the first one. Probably wasted 15 minutes convinced I was in the right spot. Really dumb. Brain was totally fried from the heat, and I didnt have the energy to pick up a trot after that, just walked it in. Its just too hot out.

Took a ~2 hour break then went out for a flag loop. Much easier taking trails. Still dieing of the heat and humidity though. Got back to the car just minutes before the sky opened up.
