shoes: Teva
US sprint champs
Decent run except for #12, conspicuous tree. Had read meet notes but
failed to realize how important to know that the conspicuous tree was
coniferous - that proved critical for some. In my case, I was looking for a
conspicuous tree in a deciduous forest of similar-sized trees which was, obviously, fruitless. 3rd M60 to Dennis Wildfogel & Dave Cady. DW found 12 in 59" to my 3:28. Think Ken Walker said he was around 5.5' on same leg. Spent some agonizing 12-15 secs looking for start triangle on map...

Terrible! First 7 ok. About to depart AP for next when I realized I was
going to go to #10, #8 being a good way to the left. Sped up to make up for
lost time, very annoyed as I had similar mental failings in Scotland. Lost
some 90" at #9 within 30m of control in open woods - was a pit higher up on
knoll. TP caught 2' on me there. Went off & blew 10 badly. #11, not caring
much, aimed diredtly at an intersection, came out some 25 m to left, failed
to see it & ran some 125m away from it, came back & there it was. Well down in list. Glen Tryson cheered me up with his 7' mistake surveying a swamp.
Saturday awards ceremony...
