Pt Pinole 25th Anniversary meet. Cloudy and cool. Started at 10:57.
Steve G set the more-or-less the same courses as the initial meet here 25 years ago. I got within two minutes of my time from back then. Made no errors today, but had around 8 mins of error back then. Today elephant trails helped a little, but my SI-Air didn't work and I had to insert the stick in each control (sometimes after trying to swipe over the control).
This was a long hard run. For the last third of the course, had to walk quite a few times. Even earlier, I took a couple of routes that allowed me to go on trails even though they were a bit out of the way, just so running through the forest wouldn't tire me out. Did this on #4 (probably went too far out of the way), #6 (unintentionally drifted left and got close to the trail, so took it for a while), #8 (was nearly my highest ranking split, so this turned out to be a good choice), #10 (probably should have gone straight), and #15.
Only moment of confusion was when I arrived at the second road going to #4: it sure looked like the second road, but I had no memory of crossing the first one, so stood there for several seconds trying to be sure.
Amazingly, my self-timed split today to #1 was identical to my self-timed split 25 years ago (even though, as it turns out, today's Start was a bit further from #1 than at the original event).
Things that were different today: S, 3, 14, 15, 16, 17, F
