A little more complicated today. No maps for navigation and blueberries to slow you down. Ran more aggressively, however.
To 1 was nice down hill between two stone walls and I took off at maximum speed. Flew down the hill and proceeded to faceplant at the bottom, oh well. Lost 2 minutes on 3 going around the end of the ridge and searching too much too low. Then 30 sec on 4 dropping over the spur to the R, then spotting the trail and dashing back over to the control. On 7 took the straight line and found the far side of the hill messy with rock outcrops and bushes and lost a minute until I cut L towards the big reentrant. Quite confused going to 8 and seeing a major stone wall after crossing the trail. Knew I was on the right bearing and spur, but could not find the wall on the map. Only later saw the wall totally covered by the purple course line, it should have been broken there. No time lost, but weirded out. Then dropped towards 9 a little R and found another control below ours on the stream, looked up and saw ours, 20 sec. Finally did a faceplant heading to the Go control when I glance at my map at full speed.
Good days of racing. Could use a little more precision and more speed, but felt good bashing through the blueberries.
