QOC "Cowboy Relay" at Morven Park, long course. Really a motala, I guess. 4 short loops with everyone taking the loops in a different order, then a 5th long loop that everyone had in common. Loops 1-4 were easy. Not much navigation required, and there was almost always someone to follow. So the only thing was to go as fast as possible. For those who weren't running, there wasn't much point.
The last loop was as long as the first 4 combined, and there was some navigation involved. I messed up in the weird boulders on the 3rd from last control. A couple minutes lost, but then again it gave me a breather before the last bit of running.
Andy B. and Howie Weinstein were gradually pulling away from me but I could still see them up ahead until the last few controls, and I had passed the next guy around the last map exchange, so my finishing place wasn't really in question. Just had to keep running.
