Discussion: Best leg of the weekend

Matthew, if you get a chance, check out leg 14-15 on Sunday's red course. For me, that was the best-designed leg of the weekend. The control at 15 was deadly simple to find once you were in the area, but getting there offered so many route choices and opportunities to second-guess yourself or screw-up. (I went left to the lake bed, over the saddle, then straight to the bag, but I'm not really sure that it was a very good choice.) While running that leg, I literally said out loud several times: "This is a great leg!"

I will admit that I was surprised my favorite leg turned out to be technically difficult rather than with lots of route choice. Usually if there's an awesome (route choice) long leg, that's my favorite. A lot of courses don't have an awesome long leg, and sometimes that's the right choice.
