US Night O Championships at Oregon Ridge Park Cockeysville, MD
Rolled in in plenty of time after flying in from ORD and Maricel was 2 hours late.
It was a bit cold 37 degrees but no wind. So almost perfect!
Did not start out to good as I picked up the green Y clue sheet and I was on green X.
So after hitting my first control on a rootstock, code didn't match and worked my way south to a 2nd rootstock. I had to ask someone where he was, I was on my 2nd control rootstock and realized my mistake. Took off back to the first control and back to the 2nd 200 meters apart. So with some serious ouch I continued on. Not terribly clean on some but good enough for 2nd in my age group. 9 minutes out of 1st.
Nice woods and indoor shelter near the start and finish.
