Event: SMOC Silver Lake
 

SMOC Silver Lake - Red

Felt decent about my navigation. A couple bobbles, but nothing major. Didn't feel that confident though, not sure why, so hesitated a number of times even though I was headed the right way.

1: Smooth sailing.
2: Went W around the swamp. The side hill was steeper than I expected so not sure that was the most efficient route.
3: No trouble, but my route here wasn't great either.
4: Biggest error. I planned to head straight for it, but drifted pretty far W. Ended up spotting the bike trail and reattacking from there.
8: Went N around the swamp, which after talking to KFish seemed the better route.
9: No troubles. Heard that it was misplaced so a little concerning that I didn't even notice....
10: Was a lot father than I expected (which now makes sense knowing that 9 was off...) so hesitated for a while before continuing on.
11: Went straight instead of cutting back out to the trail. So thick.
F: Crossed the swamp this time.

SMOC Silver Lake - Orange

Rested for 10-15 min and then headed back out on orange for endurance training. Legs were tired. Navigation was smooth, but route choice was subpar.

2: Crossed the swamp too far to the S and had to trudge all the way up the hill. Probably would've been faster to pop back out on the trail.
3: Took the road/trail all the way around.
4: Found the indistinct trail. Saw Tizoc.
7: Went E around the lake and then took the trail. I should've gone around to the W to save a little distance.
10: Nice mental break.
11: Saw Angela/Phil.
F: Took the trail around to compare times. Swamp was slightly faster.

Flag pickup.
