Green course at Anza Borrego meet. Disastrous first two controls, going too fast and losing contact on the first, then careless with the bearing and overrunning the second by a fair amount. Settled down and the rest of the run was clean as a whistle.

Maze-o at Anza Borrego. Crazy terrain. I was tired, but it was too much fun to stop. Went to 193 first, and couldn't find it for a while. Milled around with a group until Randy showed up and found it, eventually. From there straggling along with Randy and Ron Bortz. After a while, determined that we were not headed to the same place! Randy was going to 195, I was headed for 192 and Ron for 194. These were pretty fanned out controls, so somebody was obviously not going the right way. Anyway, we eventually stumbled on a control. To my surprise it was #197. Peter was there, and apparently off toward 191 so I tucked in behind until he got out of sight - doesn't take long in the maze. Found 191 about the same time j-man came in from another direction. After that did 192, 195, 194, 196 and 198 without incident and pretty cleanly. I was doing a pretty good job of using the drainages to get around. The dismount was a little hairy. I chose wrong at a place where I should have gone right to get left, and ended up climbing up and down some hairy stuff to get to the finish by brute force.
