NAOC Long at Hidden Meadow Farm. The course was navigationally challenging for a yellow course with the low visibility power line terrain and the high visibility, but complex, woods.Controls 2,3, and 4 were placed in the power line terrain. The controls were hard to see from most sides, especially because they were all at the bottom of cliff faces. I ran off of a small ~1ft cliff into some juniper bushes leaving 2. After the power line, the course entered the woods and marsh terrains for the rest of the course. There was fast running and better visibility, which sped up this section. I tied for third in an extremely close race- 11 seconds between 1st and 5th.
