Cedarcreek and I carpooled together, and picked up Kiki near WPAFB on the way to the meet. My legs (esp. the hamstrings) were a bit sore and stiff still. The goal for the day was picking a good route choice, and then try to keep moving at a steady pace the whole time. This was mostly accomplished other than 2 mistakes. At #2, I ran around the S side of pond and got confused by an unmapped reentrant. Then on the leg to #9, I was slowed considerably by the rough open. I didn't do a good job of holding my compass bearing, and drifted N to the road. The rest of the course wasn't very technical, with a lot of trail/road running options. So I took advantage of that and stayed out of the green. Overall, I felt the course could've been a bit more challenging, but for a first time course setter, this was a very good start. Most importantly, I got some orienteering out of it, and got my legs loosen up in the process.
