QOC Swanson Road Red. Botched up 2 legs, not a terrific showing. Hard to say what went wrong, but not paying enough attention to compass is a leading candidate. It's a new compass, and in my mind that made it untrustworthy. In fact, it wasn't, but the contours were.

Helped pick up controls. In an effort to settle the new compass issue, I repeated one of the legs I messed up using only a compass bearing from the attack point. It worked fine.

QOC Lake Accotink Green. A nice course by Gary Smith with some good legs and not too much crazy back-and-forth. Almost all of my route was trail running, but even that required a lot of attention because the place is just lousy with trails. Anyway, pretty happy with my performance, but there were places where I could have picked up some time here and there. And places where I conveniently found a need to slow down and study the map when I was breathing hard.
