I haven't been practicing at all during the month of Oct with travel and catapult building, so today would be it for any sort of practicing before the big meet in 2 weeks. I think I'm regretting signing up for my age, but I figure if I place last, then there is only one way to go in the future.
Nadim was kind enough to walk me through route choices before I started which was helpful, but difficult for me to execute in real life. I still don't feel like I know exactly where I am at every moment when I'm running around. I did get completely spun around a few times and had only a moment of that feeling, oh crap, how am I going to be able to get home?
I walked most of it, though I did run along the trails. The rain held off. I missed the last one, gah.
