Parked near the Ahlswedes and tried to find the WTC route through Andorra. Part of the course was marked, but not that part.
I went up where I thought the course did, but a tree (with full foliage) was completely across the trail, so I turned back, thinking it couldn't possibly go that way. In fact, they cleared it out by the morning.
A hot one. Convinced Nick to run the WTC course with me so I could scope it out. Felt pretty good, or at least better than Nick, getting over a cold, in the heat.

To the start. Very little running. Legs felt flat.

Good orienteering for a few controls, but then horrible on 6. Jordan catches up when I was standing around. Guessed he had found the control and I took off after him. Together for a few controls until his ability through the rough stuff was enough to shake me.

Picked up some controls. Found them fine this time. Still, tricky things with contours out there that nudged me too far one way or the other.
