Event: Raccoongaine
 

Raccoongaine, WPOC. Travelled with bob and John R - very pleasant. Cold (20's) before start, but sunny with little wind, so conditions were good. When I got the map I saw i wouldn't clear the course, so tried to maximize points/effort. Navigation was clean except perhaps 10 minutes or less of small errors, only two of any note. At 2 hrs saw that i would have to cut my plan short, and at 1 hr started to just pack it up when i realized that a road route would catch a couple of high pointers, but would probably require a long control-less run in. Gambled on that, and all went so well that I picked up about 50 points on the way back. Good thing - frogstompers were second with 950, and i won (!) with 1000 (about 135 total competitors, most in the 3 hr). Good showing by all of neooc and neohio in general. Great day!

I was ED at the Hinckley event (very cold, windy, and clear today!), and trotted around to pick up some controls.

had to go to bnp to meet with purdy, drove to work, no time for workout
