Event: SMOC Maybury
 

Planed a clockwise route that hit the vanishing control on the way out and the moving control on the way back.

Took off fast and kept up with team kiwi for the first 6 or so controls before we split in different directions.

Bobbled the white out, i ended up in a swamp and assumed it was the one I needed, so i went back west. turns out it was west of the one i needed. Also faceplanted and got my gloves soaked, so i took them off, but my hands were fine.

Bobbled bonus 180, didnt realize there wouldnt be a flag.

really messed up 63 - i always get confused in the mountain bike trails here.

hit 69 at 130, exactly in the middle of when it would be there.

Messed up 47 really stupidly, and that sealed my fate with not being able to clear it. Tried to nab 40 at the very end, but i found a streamer and no flag so i gave up and came in about a minute before the deadline.

So tiring running in 12+ inches of snow! but lots of fun

18F, a little cold but was dressed appropriately. Enough snow for it to be tiring to run in. Took a nasty black ice induced spill and expect a nasty bruise on my wrist and elbow.

American gods is too weird for me. Switched to reread way of kings. That plus the sequels should keep me busy all winter

Got out of training early so we took off for a new park before it got dark. Fun and hilly little run, but why are they so bad at making trail maps in PA? 3rd park in a row that its basically unfollowable...

They had a competition of the weekend, so mostly just competition routes. Some different format I wasn’t familiar with that you got points depending on how far you got on each route. Finished three routes that were apparently on the kids wall. Not much success otherwise.
