The course setter did me a favorite and made up a course that was in between the orange and brown. This map has a ton of ankle breaking rock and lots of thorny green patches so that the courses ended up being long and lots of climb to avoid the worst of these things. I knew that the brown course being 4.1k with 175m of climb was something I was not going to get done and the orange was even longer at 5.6k. My usual backup to brown is yellow but even that was 3.9k which was questionable if I would finish it in 3 hours. It was a nice day and I had a great time on my special course.
