BAOC A-meet Day 2: Calero County Park
This time Red, but ended up pre-running along with Greg and Carol. (Guaranteed getting to the airport on time, which is very nice!)
Told myself I had to be feistier since I was running a shorter course than yesterday and I think it worked! I did more contouring than yesterday, I think. Unsure if it was the fastest to #14 and 18, but wasn't bad at least.
Only two bobbles, but they weren't great. First, I parallel feature errored up a reentrant from 15 to 16 and then came out to a control on a tree, just as expected. But not my code! Eep! Ok, where is the trail, it's right there, hm, I'm quite close to it ah, ok, another tree 80m E...
Second bobble was right at the finish, #19. Basically I didn't see the cliff under the circle, came to it first and was totally bewildered by the absence of a control. Really, it's not here? Search, search. Then look at map. Ohhhhh. Scurry on.
Nice to have a more racing feel today, but this is totally different than NAOC style terrain. Ah well, got some good practice finding controls, reading a map on a run and it was fun, if tough! =) Thanks BAOC!
