NAOC Day 1 - Middle. On Green X, I had a pretty good run, but the competition was really tough. I was slow but reasonably accurate in the technical section. Unfortunately, a 2-min error on 5. I had intended to run along the big trail and pass through 6, but I overran the attackpoint and had to relocate off the little trail past 5. It would have been a good approach if I'd done it on purpose. I picked up speed on the trail runs, but got confused at the very end and had trouble with a couple of the easy controls in the ski slope above the finish.
Map reading was especially tough today. My glasses were totally fogged by #5 (I know, the solution is run faster!) so I took them off, but the forest was so dark it was hard to read even with good vision. I probably could have put them back on when I started running the trails.
