Skeeter central!!
I had high hopes for this course, because I know I need to be slow and careful on the plateau, but after the first three I didn't do as well as I hoped. (Forgot to start watch until partway to #1.) Looped around to 4, where the map didn't match what I was expecting, but eventually found it. To 5 was a short leg. Then to 6 my plan was to head north-northwest-ish to the trail, cross the dashed stream and head to the control, but apparently I stayed in the first stream valley and hit the trail at a different location than I thought I was. I was heading more N than NW, which explains why it took SO long to hit a trail. In fact, by the time I followed the trail a bit and got to somewhere I recognized, I was 150m north of #11! Somewhere along the way, knowing I wasn't going to find #6, I had switched to Score O mode in UsynligO.
Found 11 and 12, and attempted the leg to 13 but lost confidence before I reached the E-W trail and bailed. Finally asked for a direction and distance hint (then two more) to the nearest control, which turned out to be the last control, #51. I headed to the finish from there, intending to text Glen that I was going to go on the path to the Vista (assuming he'd finished and had gone out again, looking for controls from last fall's course, as he intended) just to keep moving and minimize mosquito damage, but he had finished about 10 minutes earlier and was still there; he had checked where I was on the app, and heard my phone play the finish fanfare.
He said there had been few mosquitoes around until I showed with my entourage. I blame them for my doing poorly (I can do that, right?), and would have enjoyed this much more in fall conditions with no bugs....
I was a meet worker at the two A meets and the Billygoat; we also did some training that Alex Jospe had set up, and I'd vetted sites and done a couple of test Brown courses for Glen while he designing the A meet courses, but I've never actually finished a competition there.
Congratulations to anyone who finished the course(s) no matter how long it took. :-) And thanks to Grant who designed it.
