Trail-O race 2:15:00 [1] ***
spiked:19/21c
Trail-O Championships. Missed two including the very first timed control. It's difficult when the first control is timed and you haven't gotten your head into the map yet. This really was a fairly simple control, but I understand lots of people missed it. Many protests, including one that I filed but later decided I probably shouldn't win (Remember - it can't be a Z because of an error in the control description!). Two protests were upheld, one involving an equipment malfunction (good), the other because the map wasn't perfect (should have stood, I think). Anyway it didn't change my final result which ended up being 17 out of 19 and fourth place behind Eric B., Steve B., and Joe B. Maybe I should change my last name to "Burand"?
