I tried not to be as tentitive as I was in Sprint. There were some decent route executions. Judging from splits I had decent leg from #6 to #7. Speedwise I don't think I was running faster that particular leg but I do think what happenned was that probably most guys went straight however I lowered myself down to the creek on the left side and avoided going up and down sone steep ravines. Other fast leg was from #12 to #13 but that does nto count since I was trying to match Will's speed.
I made few directional mistakes. I do like my knew compas and I am braver executing direct route choices. Sometimes if I can't figure out obvious route choice I just take baring and start runnung based on baring and then I readjust based what I hit on my way. However it seems like with overconfidence I was sloppy on taking the right baring
Note
Rode with Mike to Cortland and back. If anyone considers sharing ride with Mike in the future you shall know that Mike has eclectic taste in music - you will hear many alternative performers and performers from 80s pop - Beasty Boys, Kate Bush, Cure, James to name a few (I did not hear James on this trip but on one of the previous trips). I enjoyed but will you?
