Warm up map

Was not sure how I would feel, but once I started running I felt generally good. Still a bit of a tired feeling going uphill but able to push through. Felt I navigated well in general, finding the controls well in the forest with not much hesitation (using linear features to help me get through crappy vegetation areas).
- Not sure about my route to 4, there might have been one to the right that had less climb.
- Also, fumbled a bit on the last loop, including getting way to the south of 23... misread the trails/rides.

Got passed by the girl behind me between 5-6 (saw her at 5, and the girl I had caught glommed onto her... but I took a slightly different route). Then saw Sam (and the other two girls) first coming out of 6 when I was going in. I must admit I was happy to see her, as I had no real gauge of how the race was going and was getting a bit demoralized from being passed by the girl who started behind me... so it gave me a bit of a boost. Then started to see her ahead a few controls later and passed her from 10-11, and we ran close to each other for a bit after that.
