Score O at Hinckley, Stypczynski design. 90F, glad i brought the camelback. Somehow didn't put two of 25 controls on my map, but in the end that was a good thing - most people had trouble finding them, and they were out of the general circulation. Design was strange - the high pointers were really scattered, and the low pointers were basically along the lake trail like a white course. So, i wen for hig points to southeast first, which went ok, although one was a reentrant or two off. In southwest hit the other high pointers and with 25 minutes left had to start triage, but found myself trapped between the edge of the map and a lot of very dark green (everything was hard to go through today - thick and full of thorns). Tried to find a way to two more high pointers, but just couldn't fight through, so ran to road off the map and looped around to the dam. picked up a few low pointers on the way back, came in with 30s to spare. Still not in real shape, but having so many controls slightly off (top when it should have been bottom, hung low, in thick brush) would have stopped me from running hard many times anyhow. Good fun.
