Training Log Archive: cmorse

Rainy day. They put me down as HFA - but I didn't. I just couldn't see well enough in woods to make a difference. All controls were boulders and most I couldn't see if I was leaning on them. Had to rely on blind compass bearings and large (open marsh type) catching features. Very slow. I pretty much hit the circle on the first 4 controls, but had to hunt, a great length a couple of times before I could actually find a flag. Seemed to have a good leg going to #5, hit the stonewall near the hill top I wanted to (I think) but went across the marsh and couldn't find the boulder - then could'nt find my way back to the correct marsh. After a while realized I had been in the woods for an hour, was soaking wet, slightly chilled and not gaining anything from the experience, so I walked a slow bearing until I hit some trails and ran in, calling it a day at 4 controls. Very discouraging.

Trail run and along the park road in pouring rain. But a good brisk run....
