battle creek at lunchtime

Camp Ripley Minnegoat ... mass start .. suprisingly slow start with everyone almost walking and studying the map for the first 400m to control 1 (hard navigation started 15m into the leg !) . Pack ran a little wide on right into 1, short leg into 2 and then started to spread going into 3 (where Mike C was taking photos ) Speeding up with some trail running (400m) before more nav intense work in the pack going to 4 and 5 . After 5 it was Pete, Tom , Justin, Joe and I running in a loose pack . I nailed the pit at 10 ahead of Pete then ran with Tom and Justin through to 24 , we skipped 25 and they gapped me on the trail run back , Pete caught me at 26 (which we both missed by 75 m) . It was a good run in the fast open woods ; i was lucky that i didn't ever need to bail out to trail and relocate (which would have been quite time consuming). The map detail and visibility of features/ terrain itself was great.

ripley control retrieval and bomb flagging (for range control to pick up later)

OTNT at Wirth. Nice exercise set by Darryn :moving 3 score O (20 min, 20 min and 30 min ) to all depressions/hilltops/pits on 3 separate portions of the map). ran into a branch about 5 minutes in and cut face so looked a little scary in the bar afterwards.
