West Point Brown middle. Walking to the start my contact lens was feeling a little weird, but was generally in place. It flipped out of place about the time I turned my map over, so quite a hard time navigating. Got to the right place on top of the cliffs at 1 and looked over but didn’t see the bag, but also couldn’t make out any of the surrounding area so started to wander. Then just slow, straining to try to see something. My eye was pretty irritated by now and tearing, so not much use for distance, either. Anyway, missed the good road route around to 7, had a lot of trouble getting through the rocks on the hillside, and then as I was approaching 7 the lens flipped back into place, so ok for the rest of the course. The big problems were on 1, when I got there, but didn't see the flag and lost confidence because I couldn't make out what else was on the map, and 7 where I slogged through the awful rock field instead of the nice road route around. Otherwise I hit things pretty much ok, despite the vision issues.

Sprint race at Trophy Point. This was quite fun. I had resolved the morning's vision problem by digging out the contact and re-positioning it. Started out fine, and kept clicking along. A little hiccup at 10 when I ran through the tunnel to a bag that wasn't mine and then looked at the map to see I had to be on the wall at the left of the tunnel exit. 10 seconds lost at most. Still doing fine until 15, reading things well, making good plans, mostly focused. Then the wheels just came off. Took the 3rd best route choice, and then just got tired. When I got across to the parking lot I punched the first bag I saw, didn't even check the code. Then wandered around a bit because nothing looked right. Thought about going back and checking the code, but didn't. Then headed off to 17, but got lazy and didn't check the clue, went inside the garage instead of out and around. Lucky to finish at all. Anyway a well-deserved mispunch, but a fun course, with the interesting and strange finish circle inside a building. What was that all about? Finish on the indoor track! Brilliant.

Nice outing with Peter. Assist level 1 on the e-bike was just right to keep me up with him.
A very nice visit. Got to hear some tales from Bhutan, a nice ride and a pleasant dinner with two very good friends. Just great.
