Georgia Navigator Cup - Chattahoochee Bend State Park. Green X course on the rocky and steeper eastern part of the map. Physically challenging, and my general impression was that things were greener than mapped, especially one area of "white" where I kept having to back out of thicket after thicket of thorny vines, then ended up bailing to a trail after seeing that the area between me and the trail mapped as medium green was really mostly white. Generally a pretty clean run with just a couple minor hesitations or corrections, no real misses or big errors. Rain had held off until just as I was called up to the start, then a few minutes of moderate rain messed up my glasses for the rest (all) of the race - so that caused some extra hesitation and slowing down.
In spite of all that, I beat all of my junior green runners, edging Braydon by a mere 7 seconds, but giving the others a pretty solid thumping.
