US Champs Day 2 Blue - better than Day 1 but that isn't saying much.

Blue - Splits

US Champs Day 1 Blue - a major shock to the system, tons of deadfall and seriously unpleasant underbrush (well... brush - the worst of it was in otherwise open areas), not a lot of distinct contour to navigate by, great difficulties reading open/semi-open/wooded boundaries. Two massive (minutes in the double digits) errors and much minor blundering in the control circle. I have a great deal of work to do before I perform well in terrain similar to that.

Blue - Splits

US Champs Model Event - the merest hint of what was to come since this must have been the area of the map with just about the densest trail network. Though perhaps the unmapped manhole I mistook for an attack point should have clued me in as to how much trouble I'd later have deciding which dead tree/fallen tree/boulder I happened to be contemplating.

Slightly longer commute than usual due to diversion to Goethe Institute on the way home to see Lotte Reinger films. Surprisingly sore from the low intensity though long weekend.
