Summer series training organized by Nadim & Peggy. I started a few minutes after Addie, and I made most of it up by the first control, which was a longish road run. After that, it was impossible for either of us to get a lead on the other. The control-finding was hard (it was supposed to be -- that was the point of the exercise), so the first to reach the control location would be thrashing around in the woods when the second arrived, then we'd touch and leave together. Around control 5, Dan Quinn appeared, and he got caught up in the same control-finding trap, staying with us to the end.
To illustrate how bad the trap was, on two controls (3 and 10) I didn't read carefully and started towards the next control instead (4 and 11 respectively). Both times I had to backtrack some ways after discovering my error, but it didn't even matter, because in each case I found Addie (and then Dan) still searching for the control when I finally got there.
