Met boulderbob at RItchie ledges, and we each set a course of ~3k with flagging tape (me to SE, him to NE). I checked most sites several ways, and didn't worry about time, but went reasonably fast (45 min). I returned earlier , so i went back out on my course but pushed the even numbered legs as fast as I could manage given fitness and terrain and distance, as intervals (total time 27 min). That was very useful - i should do a lot more of that. Then we compared notes on over vs. around, etc. Then Bob went out on mine, and I went out on his. Unfortunately we both found some map problems on his course, so i spent a fair bit of time trying to check locations. I also had trouble seeing the shortish (14" total, 6"-8" dangling) white flag tape he used. Beautiful warm (60) day in the woods!
