In Brandywinde State Park, DE for DVOA's meet. We ran into traffic on the drive up I-95 and had to rush a warm-up run to the restrooms and back to the start. However, the drive up was fun with the QOC crowd discussing O' technique yet self-depricating our abilities to live-up to them.

DVOA: Brandywine Creek, near Wilmington, DE. Starting after 1pm with Mihai Veres, Ted Good, Dave Onkst, and Michael Warlters minutes ahead, I chased. I only ever saw Michael but placed okay. I kept second guessing myself, changing plans and resulting with errors. Since we were rushed starting after starts were to end, I lost a little time at controls by not having written control descriptions and codes on my card. I had to verify by unfolding the maps then find myself on the course again after checking the codes. See the Split List--I have been getting so used to e-punching that I kept forgetting to take splits at several controls.
