Westchester Long, Brown. Ugh, this was an awful performance. I started out overrunning the first two controls (I knew it was 1:7500, but evidently couldn't internalize it). Then a pretty good sequence on the next few controls, but a total disaster on #9. I still can't understand what happened, but when I finally relocated I found myself at #6, so far off that it was beyond my event horizon. Pretty frustrating.
EDIT: Now I remember something odd. When I was in the place where I thought #9 was, I looked up a likely reentrant, and saw a flash of orange. I moved a little to the right and got a clear view of a control flag, hanging in low in the middle of the reentrant. I ran up to it, losing sight of it as I got closer to the slope, and when I got to the flat part above there was nothing there. I couldn't believe it. I went all around looking for it, but I finally realized that I had just hallucinated it.
