Fun mass start MNOC summer sprint #1 at Battle Creek . A lot of to and fro in the lead with Mike, Pete C, Pete W , Peter D and I duking it out . Small mistakes and micro route choices (into thick buckthorn) had the lead change several times . A neat compass exercise close to the end . I had 2 time losses: #12 lone tree was down - circled around (my fault didn't remember the course note given out at start ) wasted about 80 seconds circling around , and #8 took a slow route through buckthorn(40 seconds loss) (others found a nice trail right down the reentrant ).
