Here is the first 15 miles. My watch battery was showing that I might have had another 45 min of power, so I turned it off and kept chugging. I think that I probably covered another 12-14 miles because there was more trail/road in the later part. I will figure it out with the map wheel.
Should have probably planned differently. I just cleared controls from the gate until the last 30 min, but consequently left a few higher value controls in the NE corner. Good nav with one section that was badly planned, one or two poor route choices through really heinous green, and two controls that I overshot by not being able to see features through the vegetation. All-in-all, I feel good about staying reasonably motivated. Managed second place 2690 pts, about 120 points shy of what was needed today. This was probably doable without a lot more distance.

A small corn maze. Very crowded, so I only really ran to the last control and finish.
