just realized that my controls goal apparently only counts racing controls. Looks like I am going to be within 10 unless I pooch the night-o next week. I had thought control pickup was counting, so I feel much happier with being even this close.

Enjoyed Gabe's new map. Different from many Cinti maps with many fields. Messed up 17 and 18; went S from the first making a 90 degree error but rapidly fixing it and running w/o thinking along the edge of the field blowing past the actual trail cutoff next to the viewing tower. Really painful coming down the hill to 25 (temperature was weirdly shorts weather, thistles and briars disagreed). Given that I mentioned Jesus going down the hill much more than I should have, even for the holidays, I decided to go around to 26. All in all, the nav was fairly straightforward and I was mostly on. Both 17 and 18 were map contact errors. I ran intervals on Wednesday and need to do this more so I can pound the trails a bit faster.

2nd course Brown 2.5 km Forgot to turn on garmin (distance estimated). And was having a quickish run until I skipped the go control. Went back to finish properly, so the go split includes download time, decision to go back, and running to the control roundtrip.
