Possum Trot Tapes at SMP event
Mike and I drove over to Shawnee Mission Park. The park was really full for a Sunday morning.
I started first and Mike passed me near the 3rd control. The vegetation is quite different for the first controls, with some cut-down stuff on the way to 1 and 2 which was hard to get over. The "field" near 7 and 8 was tall thick stalks which were a real chore to get through. I picked a bad route from 11 to finish, otherwise I was pretty close to Mean Gene's time.
I left my printed map at home and ran with the map open on my phone instead. This was a pain, literally, since my wrist got tired from carrying the phone. Also, I was afraid to fall and break my phone. And my compass went wonky if it got close to the phone. And the phone kept turning off or changing the orientation or scale of the map. I missed being able to thumb and have the compass over the map.
