Day 2 – 1.3k – 6, 6, 6 controls – Mauthe Lake
Sprint training, but gosh, I tried to be too speedy and messed up at least once on each loop. Gr. I guess it's good to know where the line of becoming stupid is, but really feel like some of the things were super-silly and I should have done better. Andrew and I started 20s different on Loops 1+2 and then started in opposite directions for Loop 3.
Loop 1- 1->2 fail, I guess mostly because the veg boundary was yellow on both sides, should have been green on one, but this confused me for far, far too long...
Loop 2- Probably my best loop, but messed up coming of the hilltop, I thought the clearing was the road and changed direction accordingly, bad.
Loop 3- Gosh. Things were tricky at the beginning, some growth has maybe changed how the field should be mapped, and a missing earth bank, I think. But the silly thing was just heading on the wrong trail from 17, totally the wrong direction, may have seen the 8 on the map and thought it was 18???

Day 2 – 3.9 k – 9 controls – Keillings Lakes
Wowzer, ok, not sure I have ever found thicker 'white' woods as it was between 4 and 5. Just couldn't get through stuff! Ah well, good to try to develop ninja skills for France. It was mostly just that the map is a bit old, so the veg is out-of-date, otherwise totally would have gone around! But happy with how I went around. Almost messed up 6, but had a 'you've gone too far' warning bell go off, which was very helpful.

Day 2 – 7.8k – 15 controls – Cat's Meow
And the Red course, or almost, from US Champs 2009. Only almost because it was an earlier edition that Kevin planned that was 0.2k longer. So amazing to have a course this long with so few non-contour features! I think I used a trail only once and no stone walls, cliffs, streams at all... awesome. Still took me way longer than people were running it in the fall, but there is a lot more undergrowth/leafy stuff at the moment, according to the locals.
So, I'm happy with the run, learned that high routes on ridges are good for long legs, really helped speed things up. Bit slow to 2, because wasn't always in perfect contact and wasn't trusting enough of coming out at the big ridge/seeing the big depressions on the way. Used the 1 rock on the map to 7, nice.
