Day 2 of the Armadill-O. I thought I did a little better today. One major mistake, and one bobble. The worst part of the day was a bad route choice from 2 to 3. I got completely wrapped up in multiflora and couldn't move forward or backward. It took several minutes to get myself out of this.
The biggest mistake was on 5. I hit the stream too far west, where there was a control not mine. I did recognize that this was the correct stream, and went the right direction. I saw a second control, not mine, but the third time was the charm.
At another control, I was about 50 feet to the left, but looked over and saw it. I lost a little time going to 13, because I was about a third of the way there, thought I was going to 12, turned around, saw 12 and went about 20 feet when it occurred to me that I had already been there. So I turned around again and went for 13.
Except for the multiflora debacle, I thought my route choices were pretty good today, and I felt much better about this weekend. After Georgia, I was really bummed. I can now be more hopeful about the next meet.
