Cherry Hill streamers
Had tried to avoid looking at routes for fairness. Turns out it didnt matter because I really blew it on 2 and then epically on 5.
2 I was just being sloppy and trying to go to fast, got pushed around by the greenery, and I seem to have a really hard time seeing giant teepees... Syd already got ahead of me at this point.
Saw syd exiting 5, and thought it should be easy. But I failed to read the contours, thinking the reentrant was a spur, so that threw me, and then I had a really hard time finding anyting that looked like marshy area. reattacked several times, and figured out my mistake, but then i still couldnt find the streamer. Finally found it, probably lost 10+ minutes. So dumb.
Booked it the rest of the way without too much problem. Twisted my already twisted ankle at 9 and had to hobble for a bit.
Thanks for the course Steve, even if my performance was somewhat embarassing...
