Rock Bridge State Park, Columbia, MO. wanted to do a better run than last year. Succeeded - no major boom. Took care to read the map better than yesterday's event. Got lucky on a couple of controls - confused at 4 by numerous unmarked ditche, but saw the marker before taking baling out meaures. Fritz is in shape and had better speed on most of the legs - got me by about 9 min. I thought I was moving better well. Tall grass and brush in open areas was tough and slow -espeically west of 8 and under power line. Didn't react to what the terrain was telling me - stay out of the tall stuff! Going into green woods was faster than this rough open stuff.

We need more orienteers in Columbia and a club again. Rudolf Bennitt is another great place. Mike Meenehan or Beth Skelton-Shafer - are you sending your kids to Mizzou?

Cammie, thanks for putting on the meet again!

Red - Splits

PTOC: Fleming Park (East of Ligget Cove) - new area!
So-so run, mostly clean until going t #7, did not aim off and unsure where I was - roamed up and down the reentrant - lost 8 min. was probably with 10m of the control the first time. Also a pretty faded marker. Run was fairly clean because of the frequent stops (more time than when O technique is better trained).

After "Late" Night at the Phog (on TV) tonight, I'll be ready for some map running this weekend.
