Hot, humid and hot.... Did not arrive early enough for my usual NRE pre-start, started shortly after 10am. Pretty decent for 40-45 minutes - overshot #5 being on W side of wall rather than between. Planned to hit water drop enroute to #6 then ran right by it. Around #10 started feeling light headed and stumbling a bit more than I liked. Popped out on road enroute to #13 and opted to call it a day. Enough course left that it would have been a slog and taken away from photo time. Since it's an NRE I felt the job was more important than points, which would have been far enough down the rankings to get tossed anyway. Then a couple hours with camera - woods too green for good photo ops, so mostly near finish.
