The day was nice but damp and I had an on-and-off run. Slow on the first few controls probably losing 50s and 20s unnecessarily on contrils 1 and 3. Control 9 took what should have been a good route tending W of the line over the end of the spur. I learned that on some maps white and green are actually the same color. Honeysuckle and fallen trees to 2' in diameter made this slow going (>1 min 30s lost?). My big mistake was a directional problem in some open forest exiting the grove W rather than S right at control 12. The added loop ate 4 min and 12.5 m of climb.

Mostly decent running and simple navigation as the second run for the day. One ridiculously big error on control 4: on compass through green and got to the trail but went N instead of south. The choice seems inexplicable except that I had thought that I had mistakenly cut across the linear grove. After getting back on track my irritation unleashed a second abortive attempt for the control before getting it right. Argh!
