Brecksville. 50s, hard rain yesterday, drizzle on and off today, earlier this week some massive flooding (which really eroded a lot of stream beds (4-5' walls). Epunch, Hendrix design (he is improving). The red course was 7.1 and had some major steep climbs so I drew both the red and green courses to give me options (i'm not in shape for a long hard one yet, they shared the same first 5 controls). I was slow and rusty, and didn't hold bearings well. Also, very slippery conditions in this steep environment, and lots of water to fall on my map and glasses. I hit control 5 at 30 minutes which meant a 2 hour forecast, so I bailed out to green. UP to that point the controls were excellent. After that they got easier (even to white level), and often encouraged travel through private property. Felt good overall, nice day to be out
