Quantico Classic, Long Distance on Beaver Dam Run map on theQuantico Marine Base. Woods a bit more open and runnable than yesterday but otherwise similar. Overcast, upper 60s with wet woods from rain showers and drizzle.
A much better run than yesterday. Biggest time loss was on control 3 when I mistook an open marshy area (which looked like a pond) for a pond about 100m south. Had been right on line to hit the control but took an out and back excursion before figuring it out. Exited control 6 to the east rather than to the north and spent the better part of a minute understanding where I was in the terrain. Missed 12 (on the edge of the field) to the right a bit following Kristin, who I knew wasn’t on my course but was headed to the same control - probably 20 or 30 seconds there, but not noticed by AP.
