Got roped into TNT with the girls. Mostly along for the ride, Syd did most of the Nav. Practice on USGS 1:25k map of Brighton Rec. Cooper had put up 4 streamers and told us to go in a very inefficient order, and then hit 1 more unstreamered point. Not sure if we were in the right spot for that one, as we didn't quite meet up with Michelle and Cris and I was on Nav for that one.

C • now go back 1

Tried out my new shoes acquired at REI garage sale. Much more aggressive. Painful, but could definitely tell a difference in using tiny holds.

Story of the day was get half to 2/3 up no problem, then not make any more progress. This happened on a 5.11- and several 5.10+. Maybe next time.

Event: SMOC Island Lake Recreation Area Regular Meet
 

To SMOC island lake meet. Took it pretty easy to save our legs for O.

SMOC Island lake meet - Red.

First half went really well. stayed too low on the hill to 1, but doubled back higher and found it. 2- 8 went really smoothly, and I really enjoyed a lot of the placements and legs.

The trip to 9 is where i started to have problems. Just a really long leg so I got pretty fatigued. Ended up slightly too far W cutting in to 9 and got a very angry homeowner yelling at me. Apologized and quickly went back down the hill and came farther E before coming back up. Shook me mentally a little. Thought I found a spur to 10 so headed back up, but it was not the right one. Ran into several other people looking here, which I think slowed me down because I figured with so many people I must be in the right spot. WRONG!

11-14 went smoothly, but I was dragging. Didnt eat anything, and went sans camelback. Probably would have been fine except for the bike before, and I didnt notice the water at 11 until I had already left.

15 I found fine, but I didnt find any good way to geth there or back, so the bush bashing was rather frusterating. Considered the swamp but it looked just as thick. Passed Al on the way to 16 and then brought it in strong.

Overall pretty happy, just a few big slowdowns in the middle. Definitely needed water and food.
