ahr:134 max:151
Careful on the technically tough Moreau plateau. Ran at moderate speed over the terrain which is a nice mix of open woods and soft marshes.
Fast enough today to make a few mistakes, which I guess is progress:
L going up to 3, got above and had to look around; 1 min lost.
Overshot 5 to L, caught myself at the top of the drop off and turned around to get it, 1 min lost.
Well off R on short leg to 8 as glasses fogged up and ran to the hilltop beyond the wrong marsh, 2 min gone.
Biggy on 12 where I slid by the mounds maybe 5 m to the L and ended up in SearchMode. When I found them it seemed more like a depression than two knolls, 5 min lost.
