WCOC meet at Gay City hosted by George and Lyn. Three forest sprints and then three mazes.
First was Red-A, 2.5 km. Good run, just having trouble seeing the controls.

Picking up the controls from Sprint A. Mostly walking, some jogging.
A very pleasant day at Gay City. Weather was perfect, nice courses, good company. And most fun was George's maze. Not really a maze, just 11 controls and a corresponding map that just showed the controls, nothing else (a few trees, a couple of picnic tables, there wasn't much else). No clues, so you had to just trust that you were reading the map right.
And a minute of this, fast as you can, 7 or 8 or 9 accelerations and then putting on the brakes, left me gasping for air. And then repeat two more times, different courses. Excellent.
