Day 1 GNC Classic Green X course at Camp Rutledge (Hard Labor Creek SP). 5.9k, 160m. More spur and gully terrain with lots of ditches. Quite a few rock features too. Woods were a bit slower than yesterday. Map had 2.5m contours, which didn’t really seem necessary.
A good run, finding all the controls where I expected them. May have lost some time to 10 with a suboptimal route choice. Lost about 3 minutes going to the last control (!) - knew I needed to head west but couldn’t seem to stay on that heading. Added some climb in the process too. Still managed first in M60 and about 6th overall on GreenX (3 of those quicker than me were Interscholastic varsity kids).
Took a stick to the left eye (my map reading eye) heading to control 6 resulting in some blurriness for the rest of the course. This may have been a contributing factor to my error on the last control.
And another day of great organization by the Georgia club.
