Fair Hill Day 2 Blue - managed to be clean this time with at least decent if not quite optimal route choices, thereby squeezing into second in the narrow space between Eddie and Rune. Quite pleased with the weekend overall as an indication of my terrain running fitness but unsure whether I can assume having done it once in an A event will be sufficient to inoculate me against ever skipping a control again or whether I should explicitly change something in my orienteering system to guard against possible recurrence. Sad to say, now that I have time to ponder I think the problem may have resulted from my reading ahead. Though that may not be so bad - one solution would be to never read ahead so as to maintain focus on the task at hand but it can't be all that hard to read ahead and then return my thoughts to just the current and next legs.

Streamering White, Yellow and Orange courses at Bowie - all the flooded trails a nuisance for White to the point that I ended up deciding to streamer them through the woods for 50 meters as the only alternative to a more or less out and back course. Just under three hours walking around, discounted as usual.
