DVOA Governor Dick - Green (Mid-Atlantics)
Not really pushing very hard, and this ended up being pretty physical, so that was okay. I was still beat by the end. Result sucks, but oh well.
Woods were either really nice or really trashy depending on location. I was lucky and didn't get into anything too bad, but I was also being conservative to try to avoid that.
Biggest issues were on the hillside with 6-10. I crossed what I thought was the terrace SW of 6 (had a control on it) so continued on that contour and hit another terrace which I then believed was the one just below 6. Also saw rock just beyond which matched. Climbed, found a control but not the right one. Went back to terrace, attacked again, same result. Wandered a bit then realized the wrong control I had found was my 10. Ooops. Down into 6 with no issue after that realization.
7 and 8 were okay, but then overshot 9 by a huge amount. Wandering around with about 3 other people. I saw a control and went to see if I could relocate there. It was 6 again...
At least then I could find 9 and 10. After that it was just another slog up and up and up the hillside. I went by the tower, down the big trail to 11, and the rest was pretty easy (stuck to the trails in the greener area near the end.)
Got back too late for relay, but we hardly had anyone to make a team from anyway. Also pretty tired so would not have been enthused to go out again.
