QOC pwf red.
Frustrating to say the least and not a particularly enjoyable outing. Wasn't able to get comfortable with the map or the course so spent a lot of time reestablishing contact after any running at pace. Two crazy long splits were the result of frustrations mounting to the point where I just opted to scrap the whole leg, go back to previous control, and re-run the thing from scratch. Would have liked to have had a gps on one of those to study the trace as I'm still not sure what went wrong the first time. Comments in the splits.
running 25:00 [4] 3.0 mi (8:20 / mi)
To get some useful time in at a more steady pace opt to run back to parking in lieu of shuttle. Encouraging that I didn't lose contact with the road as after this outing even my ability to hold that should be in question.
