Event: UKR Gators O Cup #5
 

Cumulative running around putting out controls.

Lots of help putting out the rest and with pickup.

(A bit of meet wrap up on AP event thread.)

Mapper's worst nightmare with on and off rain all day.

When it poured I rechecked some control sites I hadn't visited yet after the melt.

Complete re-route needed for leg 4-5. Canyon had a mini lake on its bottom.

Watched Rockwood radar forecast for precipitation. No relief in sight. Mapped rest of micro in a steady drizzle...swearing after every big drop from the trees.

Last possible day in the field with Annie's birthday party on Saturday.

Sections of fieldwork done by memory - suboptimal scenario - stressed out.

C • paid off 2

Cleaning up the map and course after the turbo thaw. Completely different terrain...as expected. All the deadfall revealed.

Glad I left the Micro mapping as close as possible to the meet date. Slick and borderline unrunnable in there today.

Completed half the micro fieldwork - rushed home to pick up Annie from school.
