Flying Pig Day 2 (Day 1 of 2018 US Masters Champs). Brown B course on Raven Bridge map at Carter Caves SP. 3.9k, 250m. Lots of ups and downs (some steep), lots of rock features, mostly open woods and one no-longer-used golf course. Sunny and low 40s.
An OK run. Lost about 3-4 minutes total on three errors. Sloppy on the very short first control and missed it to the left. Off to the left on #3 and checked a couple of other depressions until I got to the one with my flag. Climbed high going to #7 and then had to descend through cliffs, rather than taking the lower trail route. Could’ve saved about 4 contours of climb and maybe some time on #6 taking the trail around to the right rather than following the trail/power line route.
Started 2 minutes after Charlie and caught him at #5 when he made a mistake but then relinquished the lead when I bobbled #7. Chased him across the golf course going to #10 and then took the lead again by #11. He got to 13 ahead of me but got caught on the top of a 5m cliff on the way to 14 so I got to the finish first. But he wins on style points since he crossed the stream directly rather than taking the bridge to the finish. :-)
Finished first in M65 and overall for the Brown B course.
