O - competition race (Bear Brook) 1:42:30 [4] 7.87 km (13:01 / km) +169m 11:46 / km
Red M-45. Better run today. Strong focus on bearing and pace count. Found most controls cleanly, even depressions in the middle of pine saplings. Off R slightly on 5, just missed control and had to relocate off rocks above it, 5 min. Pulled R by reentrant on way to 7, went across top of hill and down by way of 8, then overshot for 3 min. Map messy around 13, lost looking for right knoll, 1 min. Overall, still felt a lot better and in control. Glad I did red for the weekend; interesting navigation.
