Sessions Woods BYOM, Red, 6.3 km. Sloppy on #2, I had several misconceptions about where I was along the way, and I ultimately hit the trail just past the control, didn't know where along it, and didn't recover so well. SA says 3 minutes lost, but it felt like more, and I probably could have been a minute faster than that if I hadn't been a dope about it. 30 seconds on #4 when I stopped almost within sight of the control and let my head clear to be sure where I was before continuing. And a minute lost on #7 when I stopped to get a thorn out of my shoe. Also overshot #6 and lost some time there, and fishhooked #8, but SA didn't notice those.
I missed taking the first split, and the GPS was seriously out of whack until about halfway to #7, so who knows how far I actually went, and no RouteGadget for me this time.
Woods were a little trashier than I expected, but still a lot better than some places, and visibility was great. Nice to have Nancy along, and to get a chance to chat with Peter, Charlie, and Phil (all masked up and fairly well separated).
