24 control score O'. Good crowd with Clem, Vadim & Sergei Z. all there. Clem had a crazy fast start, splitting off from Sergei & I after the 2nd control. I ran 2 more with Sergei, leading one and trailing the next, before I split off on a different loop choice.
I was the only one to get them all, thanks to a close eye to find all 24 controls on the map ( Sergei didn't see 2 of them ) and perseverance though the visibility reducing ferns.
Overall, runnability wasn't too bad for mid-summer.
GPS tracks show I lost 5:30 on one control, and 6:00 (730m) on another - in both cases coming within 10-15m of the control on the 1st attack...
On the 1st one I missed, I arguably hit the circle center, but the control was a bit off - hard to say given how dry the indistinct marsh was, and on the 2nd, I was in knoll/depression/broken-ground bingo land, where, like much of the terrain, there were a ton of these features, but only some are mapped.
A tough park to nail stuff in repeatedly, though Sergei managed to do so a bit more than I did, getting 22 controls in ~75 minutes. Likely he could've added on the other 2, had he seen them, in another 5-7 minutes.
