Awesome day in the woods at the MNOC Minne-goat. My first time at Straight Lake park and it lived up to the hype. Nice open woods allows for good nav and movement (if you have the legs/lungs). First control was a doozy. Really complex map reading for the first control. 2nd control was marginally better. I tucked in and just followed for these two and then focused on my pace/the map for the rest of the event. I ended up running most of the event with Ian. We had different approaches and took off on different plans, but ended up next to each other for a long stretch. He dropped me after control #17 when I came down with some serious cramps and decided to limp it in.
Great course set by Shawn McKinlay. Regret not having skips.... :-( but it worked out.
First time in the new IceBugs!
