very brief rest, then out for
2nd. Didn't take time to prep - just tossed punch card & desc into map case. Left my brain behind at the start.....
Not focused, made errors on first 4 controls - bad routes (missed obvious L choice on 1), ran down lots of unmapped trails, too much avoidable climb, didn't read #4 as being halfway down hill etc - was probably close to 20 minutes before I got to 5...
Slowed way down, race now shot, still made some less extensive mistakes though.
Will go back in a week or so to run this course again, this time taking my brain with me.
