super rocky footing for a lot of this course, very conservative run stopped a lot to read the map: deviated from line on 3, corrected fast, but still ~ 1 min lost, got stuck in downfall going to 5 ~ 30 sec, very slow going down hill to 6; 9 - went straight over steep hill, was slower than rest ~ 30 sec, stopped short on a green control, was not sure that was a cliff, Sharon confirmed it, so that was ~ 1 min all together, just standing around. Mixed feeling about today, 4 km course shell be faster, but given the terrain, I will take what I got. You can run over rocks if you train it, Sweden proved it possible.
