Event: OCIN Flying Pig XXI
 

Flying Pig - Night Champs - Red

Started off cautious after all the warnings of how difficult the middle was earlier. Small error on 3, cut in too far E. 4 was my favorite control. It was in a little room in the side of a hill, kind of creepy at night though. Exited 4 and didn't realize there was an uncrossable fence to the S. Slow going as I bashed around it. I then cut in to 5, but didn't hit it on and couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the map. Wandered for a bit.

Went pretty smoothly after that, just had to get warmed up I guess. So wet on the way to 10. Overshot 15 and hit the depression just N of the flag. It also had a flag. Turned around and hit 15 right on, I must have walked right by it on my way through. Saw W4J at 18. Then saw Brenda and Joe after 19. One more small error to 20. There was more green than I expected and I hit the water hole to the E before correcting. Fun finish zooming around the open area. Fun course! Legs felt good and pretty happy with my navigation.

Easy spin on the trainer.

5.9
5.10+
5.11- Finally got this one!
5.11+ Figured out the move, but too tired to do it

So nice out! I was worried the dirt roads would be wet, but they were great - only a few puddles here and there. Way overdressed, had to pause after a few miles to take off my jacket.

KFish didn't want to go back inside, so we went for a short trot.

Checked out the new trail at Island Lake...missed a couple turns. Could definitely tell it's new, fairly rough with lots of roots/small stumps. Good orienteering practice! Nice day for a run.
