Event: SLOC - Holiday-O at Queeny
 

Warm up.

SLOC Long Farsta at Queeny (1:10). David didn't show so I decided to run firm and rely on clean nav to carry the day rather than trash my legs for tomorrow's Q run. Failed on both counts - nav was sloppier than I'd like (though Queeny is pretty forgiving in that respect, so I didn't lose much time) and I think I did take it out of my legs. Still good enough for the win, but not by much. The 2nd tier of SLOC'ers is becoming a real threat. Not sure one could do much to improve on Yvonne's courses; staying predominantly in the woods yet missing most of the really nasty stuff. Also lots of route choice, none of which was compromised by the map (which was never good and is now worse). Quite a trick at Queeny.

Since I'd already taken it out of my legs, I did the short Farsta as well to get some practice on 1:5. Appropriately trivial nav (there was no other beginner course offered), but fun.
