WCOC Autumn Adventure A Meet: Day 2 Red
Physically much better than the day before. The woods were really fun to run in, and overall felt much faster than Saturday. However, I had some sloppy legs where I gave away 1-2 minutes on hesitation or bobbles. However the story of the day was the last control. In my haste, I mis-read the map, thinking I needed to be to the right of the uncrossable fence that I had just come through to get control 14. I crunched through crap for 300 meters, before I really realized my mistake, and then fruitlessly searched for a safe crossing point on the fence. A number of people who made the same mistake climbed the fence. However, I was too chicken, and worried that I'd damage the fence and relations with the land owner. I ended up running back through the green and finally down through the apple orchard to the final control, taking 11:28 on a leg that should have been under 90 seconds. Ouch!
