The Chase. Excellent as always, though I suffered from lack of heat acclimatization and general running fitness. Spent a lot of time chasing Clem. it was hot, upper 80s.
New this year was the "black" (aka evil) course, which promised to include a few unknown twists. I think the main one that got me was ambiguous control-number positioning, particularly loop 2. Wasn't expecting that and didn't even realize how much it had confused me until long after the finish! a few of the other tricks were decoy controls and controls on non-features, but those didn't really cause as much confusion.
Wore o-shoes, which was sortof ok. I didn't want to tie them too tight, so I had some toe blisters, and my heel was a little sore afterwards also.
