"2018" Masters Nationals -- Day 2 of 2.

Again today, I felt like most of my navigation was sound, with some dumb mistakes:

* Going into #2, I knew I didn't have an attackpoint -- I even said that to myself several times, but I just kept plowing ahead until I found myself wandering around on the ridge. I eventually relocated off of a pit.

* Inefficient leaving #5 (not sure why I went so high into the woods).

* Off-kilter near #10.

Today's map seemed less steep and more open, and I enjoyed the course -- maybe my favorite of the three days.

I ended up 4th out of six in F45. Oh well.

"2018" Masters Nationals -- Day 1 of 2.

I think my navigation was generally OK, but with some time-wasting mistakes:

* I was a bit too high going into #1. I wasted some time trying to figure it out, and then I was slow getting down the steep slope.

* On the way to #5, I got slightly off my bearing and followed the wrong ridge down. Figured it out when I hit the cliff.

* Inefficient curvy route to #10.

* And then...I had a massive blunder on the GO control (#16). I still have no idea how I got so lost. That cost me one spot in the final results.

Beautiful scenery and a fun course, even though it was steep.

I had a leisurely morning of brunch and grocery shopping, then I got on the road to Camp McKee.

For #1 and #2, I relied on trails. But that felt like a crutch, so I decided to go cross-country to #3. BAD IDEA -- it got really steep there, with slippery mud underneath all the leaves; I think I was slightly off the edge of the map; and the brush was thick. Ugh. I went back to using trails whenever possible for the rest of the course. :-P

Avocado toast and eggs at "First Watch" near CVG. I think it's a chain, but it was DELICIOUS.
