Event: ROC - Powder Mills [2009 Club Series #5]
 

I made a comment the other day that Powder Mills is overused and I still think it is. But I really enjoyed being out there today. It helped that I felt really good and orienteered well. As is the reality at Powder Mills, the flag locations were not especially difficult, but the courses did a nice job of setting up several difficult route choices. The ones to #4 and #7 stick out in my mind as the ones I struggled with most. For #4 I avoided the swamp and swung way south along the roads and for #7 I took more direct line and crossed the main N-S swamp. It looks like I may have took both legs, but the route I chose for #4 probably allowed me to save a bit of energy (by not going over the main ridge) for the rest of the course.

The spikes listed indicate me executing my route choices and hitting the flag, but one could argue my route choice to number 4, does not deserve a spike
