Cedarview -- Summer Solstice #1 (handicap = 5)
Score = 544/1000
First attempt at a score-o. Didn't have much of a goal or plan in mind. But sure got a good work-out, lots of running!
Struggled with a few of the controls and in the end found only 11 out of the 27 that were on the course, or out of 22 required for a "full course" for my handicap. After one of the controls, I got totally messed up -- even though I was **right at** the control, I couldn't seem to match up the map with the landscape to continue my intended course. After much time wastage standing around scratching my head, must admit I had a moment of thinking I should just call it quits, having wasted so much time (about 12 minutes until I found another control). But that would have been dumb. So, I fumbled onward and eventually figured myself out and kept going, albeit on a modified plan. Definitely satisfied with the workout, but would love to find more controls next time.
