Red course at DVOA's Hibernia event. Worked epunch all morning until about 1pm and then went on the red course. Was pretty cold getting ready to go out after having sat around for so long, but once I got going it was actually pretty nice.
Had an okay run - no real errors, several big hesitations, and lots of not being able to run as much as I know I need to if I want to do well at upcoming events. Certainly running more than I was in January though so improvement.
Probably would have been in the mix with Ann and Sandy, maybe a minute or so back, if I had run Green. The courses were almost identical - Red didn't go to their #3 and #6 (although I went right by #6 anyway) and I was a little ahead at my #10 (their #12). But maybe not enough to account for all of the extra distance to #3.
I really liked the Red course. I could have done without the legs 16-17-18; the woods over there were trashy and rocky. I think 17 moved WNW by about 100 meters might have been better. But it was still a lot of fun and I'm glad I ran Red.
