"Middle" course at Hibernia - perhaps for M-21+ but not me so more like a normal course with just lots of controls. My eyes were tearing like crazy when I started so I just took out my contacts which helped a bit. Shoes got soaked within minutes and had to stop to tighten the laces. So Rob caught me by #1 and I saw him off and on the rest of the course.
Very rocky park with most areas medium green and so that with the rain meant I didn't do much running. Couldn't run much on the trails either though - just not interested in pushing that hard today. Wore a really warm shirt but my hands and arms still got cold. They didn't really warm up until I took a hot bath when I got home. Was supposed to work epunch but Vadim was nice enough to say he'd take care of it and I could just head home. Glad I got out and got in a work out. Navigated okay for the most part. Should have headed down to the road, around and back up on one control with lots of rocks on a steep hillside but happy with route choices other than that.
