Flying Pig XVIII - Mounds State Recreation Area Middle - Green (F-Green)
My cleanest and (marginally) fastest day of the three.
Again, felt this course was long for a middle. 4.9 K, to me, is right in the lower end of classic length.
Ran into Rob W around control 3 and for most of the rest of the course. We are close in speed, so even when we would take different routes we seemed to constantly come back together at the control.
Too high on 6, but I knew it was on the nose of the hill, then encountered another course's control which had to be the small reentrant to the N (and it was.) Dropped down and got it.
The only leg I really disliked here was 7 to 8, basically a straight line thrash through green unless you wanted to climb to the trail and drop again. At least most of the green wasn't thorny, but it was bushlike stuff with sticks that would get all intertwined. I wished for a machete.
Chose a somewhat circuitous route to 11, trying to avoid more green.
Slight miss on 13, going along I thought to myself it might be below on the steeper drop of the hill. Started to cross the many ditches and could see the building and clearing ahead, so knew I was too far. Dropped down and turned back and there it was. Enjoyed the more sprint-like ending to the course.
