Event: WPOC - free workshop at Deer Lakes park
 

Today went much better. I still had a few pretty massive errors, but I did a pretty good job staying in contact with the map and correcting when I needed to.

5 - long leg, and I started with an inefficient route choice towards the road that I realized was out of bounds. Corrected onto a series of trails that worked ok once I got there.

8 - got a little messed up in the crazy cliffs, but corrected based on the stream and passed someone that was equally lost without them seeing me punch.

11 - I was just super indecisive and spent too long looking for a very faint trail.

12 - biggest mistake, got lost in the mountain laurel and had to reattack from the hill top.

Corridor O. Greg made up a corridor-o that looked pretty tough. Took it pretty slow and it went okay. I actually thought I stayed in pretty well, but matching up my tracks it appears that I was not always where I thought I was... Another good learning experience.

Day 2 - Lake Welch - Blue - Splits

Event: West Point 39th National Meet
 

Humbled today. I just could not make sense of the map today. I lost contact for a second and then ended up completely and utterly lost for 45 min - my worst mistake in years! I tried to keep going for a couple controls, but my head was just not in it, so I gave up and ran in to the finish.

The rocky cliffy terrain was just tough to understand what was mapped and what was skipped especially compared to the maps we are used to in MI and PA. A good learning experience but a not so good day.

Day 1 - Lake Frederick - Blue - Splits

got in one run while in Knoxville for a conference. it was beautiful out
