Team Trials middle distance, Hickory Run. The nicest course of the weekend, though a poor performance by me. The one downside of the day was the leafed-out understory, which dramatically limited visibility, and in places made it like night-O in terms of the need to navigate based on nearby features. Two of my errors involved running right past controls that I would have seen in different conditions, but had I had my act together more, I would have stopped in exactly the right spot and found the controls without much hunting. (The third error was a completely sloppy move, heading off at 60 degrees to my intended direction and then matching up features in my imagination.) I also didn't have much zip, felt like it was hot out, and couldn't run up the hills.
