My body was sore before the start of the course. Afterwards it was shot.
I started off pretty strong, I kept my head the whole course. Lost contact with the map at one point but new that If I kept heading north I would know exactly where I was.
I had three mistakes but they where planned route choices just bad forethought. on 9-10 I planned to cross the seasonal marsh but it took a little longer due to me not wanting to go under the water (ended up finding a beaver damn and running across). on 16 I ran to the cliff instead of to one side. and 21 I ran to close to the lack and was fighting briers where as if i went down the trail another 100m i would have had clear running.
