Event: ICO Yellowwood
 

Super hilly red course at the John Floyd Hollow section of Yellowwood- finishes < starts / 2. It was unusual to run at Yellowwood in the green part of the year, visibility was much reduced by the plants, but there weren't many thorny plants or honeysuckle. Bad route choice on 4. I went around in the broad valley and climbed up the sharp spur late, but I should have gone up right away and used the tops of re-entrants as collecting features. Mistakes on long leg from 5 to 6 in logged areas, areas where many people do not typically visit. Misread trails near the end of the leg. I thought the trails on the map were the obvious logging rides, but the mapped trail was a well-kept hiking trail. Lost 2 min on 16 due to thick vegetation; this, along with my reduced running speed due to sickness, were the decisive factors in a 50-second race against Anders Hellgren.

6 central controls - 1 new one that was not on red.
