Ok, let's see what happened.
Well, very messy to 1, wavered between staying higher to avoid the green stuff and staying lower to try to find the reentrant. Ended up running into Robin.... she had started 4 minutes earlier. Should have looked at her map (orange) but I wouldn't have been any help 'cause all I could have told her was "somewhere around Here" but maybe that would have been helpful.
Anyway, found 1, then became more careful and slow, maybe for the rest of the route. Hate that trade-off. Fast or accurate, seldom both for me.
Overshot 5, used the catching cliffs.
Good through 10, but then on 11 didn't notice that the reentrants didn't really present themselves at the bottom of the hill; went right to avoid the junk (should have gone through the light green section.... and then was off by two re-entrants. Found some stone walls and said. "Oh. That's not good".
14 was just oddly tricky for such an easy leg.
Rest okay, but too much time wasted all in all.
Then waited around for a really, really long time for Robin. Ty was already in from White and playing with a pack of similar aged kids.
Robin took a while; she did a number of good controls but then lost her compass and wisely found the safety escape and came back.
Rain was hardly noticeable while running.... why is that? and mostly stopped so there was at least some social time at the end.
Loved the arena area, very very busy and festive and so many new faces and multiple languages. Quite the international event, and fun to see Sandy strolling around with everything so well under control.
