I had run around here a few years ago checking terrain for mapping (I wound up declining the job). Headed to the start I was trying to recall the new terrain N of powerline. I recalled a ridge of rocky, laurel infested stuff to the R that just wasn't pleasant running and what do you know, first 5 controls went right down that ridge....
Had difficulty getting into odd 7500 scale, some map elements felt 'off'... Not trusting myself or map, this run quickly degenerated to a slow, hesitant unsure tour of the park. Never enough open runnable area to really get moving.
A couple minutes lost crawling around on all fours looking for glasses which went flying a few times - (running glasses broke at Pig Middle last week)
Tomorrow should be better - warmer and more confidence in mapping (its mine with updates by J-J)
