Meramec O meet with Mickey. It was good practice for the Physically Strong AR coming up next month. Confirmed that he is waaay faster than I am, especially up hills, but we worked well together as a team. We were spot on with nav until control 9. We missed it, hit a trail, realized we were further away than we realized. We took an inefficient route to 10 (completely my fault), then took a bit to find 11. After 11, we got on a nearby trail in the wrong direction (both of our faults). The last hour completely flew by and we ran out of time. We made it back 6 minutes after time. After turning in our passports, we made a quick trip out to find 12. It was annoyingly easy. We should have just gotten it after realizing we were going to be late. All in all, a good day. Big blister on left big toe, but other than that, feet felt fine.
