End of year beer chase tho i drank water for the first two quaffs. Even that was hard to swallow. Slosh. On first loop went halfway to 3 instead of 2 then made a bad approach to it. Rest of loop was good. Got confused by all the punching and quaffing between loops so lost more time. Went around swamp and followed my plan well tho i lost time since Kris told me later that theres never any water in whats marked as that swamp. Did alright to 2nd loop second control and aimed left so as not to end up in flat purgatory if i missed it to the right. Got clise enough to road that i took it to where i thought the control was, but was short. Didnt know how to interpret the mapping. But turned the right way and saw the control, with benefit if two people exiting it. But i woukd have hit it anyway. Rest kf course was fine but got very mucky in parts. Finished strong. Fun. Very glad to meet Kris — too bad its the end if the season but maybe ill see her in Laramie. Lots in common and about the same speed ( tho shes far more experienced)
