Georgia Navigator Cup Day 1, Middle Distance on Lake Delano map. Brown X, 3.2k,65m, 1:7500. Open woods, excellent visibility and runnability. Fun course set by Sam Smith. 14 controls so lots of short legs. Cloudy and low 40s, good for running but less good for hanging around and for volunteers who weren't running.
Had a good run. Biggest error was on control 11 where I was off to the left on my bearing and chased a bag on a nearby* feature. Figured it out right away but lost about a minute on the leg. A few other hesitations, but those were mostly to be sure I was matching map and terrain features correctly. Second overall on Brown and second in M70, 26 seconds behind Steve.
*Nitpick. The "nearby" feature was the end of a ditch and was just a bit more than the required 30m minimum distance from the pit I was looking for. One could argue that a ditch and pit are "similar features", making the required minimum distance 60m. I think finding the bag/ditch end helped rather than hurt me however.
