Day 1 – 5.3k – 9 controls – Cat's Agenda
A first course before lunch to warm up and start getting out on the terrain. And yep, it's different. Really had to think about not all closed loops being hill tops, so much negative contour features. First four went ok if not confident, then totally blew 5. I have not been so lost in a looooong time. I'm still not sure exactly where I went, thought I definitely was certain places on the way through, but then were I was afterwards doesn't make sense... ended up coming out to the open yellow, wasn't even sure which corner of the yellow I was at... jeez!

Day 1 – 4.6k – 13 controls – Cat's Meow
Tunnel-o. Decided to go do the first loop counter-clockwise of Andrew, maybe we'd pass each other somewhere- we must have, but may have been opposite sides of the corridor. And he rocked it, finished way before me. I had a pretty tough time with this one. Definitely left the corridor. Maybe worst was up in a big open field, which is a bit silly, nothing really to make you go off-bearing. Guess it was a gap in the green mostly filled in with a big tree that messed the plan up there... Looking at it, not quite sure why it was so tough, guess my style was cramped a bit by the corridor, and maybe wasn't doing as good a job as picking up what was up and down with the smaller amount of info provided.

Day 1 – 3.6k – 7 controls – Cat's Agenda
Memory-o! This was fun. There was a piece of map at each control with the way to the next that you had to memorize and then go out and do. Taking splits, it took me 1-1.5 minutes usually at each control to plan and remember the way to the next, that seems like a lot... Only one that didn't work was #2, may not have had the proper respect for how difficult it was yet, and came out on the right ridge, but too far west, and decided I was too far east instead.
