2009 PNWOF Goldrush Middle Blue.
Another very bad race. Very bad.
I should have expected--indeed I could see with my own eyes--what the terrain looked like out of the start. I should have realized--because it was posted at the start and in the notes--that the scale was 7,500. I should have read the map as a sprinted down the road out of the start--because I am not from Texas.
But I didn't. And it showed. 4.5 minutes lost on #1, where I was essentially lost. Actually, after that, it really wasn't too bad. I lost another minute+ on 4 and a bunch of 30 seconds. But, I got into things later on.
