shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
Walk / jog to the start, day 2, advertised as 1.6 km. I forgot to start my watch until after I left the field near parking; and forgot to stop it when we reached the start...
Lovely weather; low 70s, partly sunny, and not as humid as Saturday.

Day 2, F50, finished 2nd/6 on the day and 2nd of 8 for the weekend. Prizes were stained glass (different sizes depending on your finish place, and uniquely different ones for the M/F 21 classes) control marker suncatchers, made by Loretta Opila of WPOC!! Very nice.
Had more trouble than I should have on some of the legs, and better route choices on one or two would have helped. New Moscompass capsule on my thumb compass will take a bit of getting used to. (The old one developed a bubble that wasn't going away -- guess it had had enough of my abuse. Next time I fly the liquid would probably all get forced out of it!)
Slipped on a wet stick on the way to 1 as I contoured around to the control. Climb to 2 -- I hit the road near the clearing and then cut the corner near the road junctions but apparently had an incorrect bearing because I hit the trail east of (above) the control instead of the reentrant, and then had to verify where I was on the trail before heading to it...
4-5 I should have dropped to the road north and then angled in. But I didn't; I contoured across the hill (light green, not white woods) and hit the distinct veg boundary SE of 4. Took too long to traverse the woods, and I could have been at least 3-4 minutes faster, I think, taking the road.
Took the trails around to the right to 6, and I thought I executed the leg pretty well. Took trails around to the right to 7 which may have been too much out of the way. I attacked off the trail junction so traversed a bit of white woods -- which were actually quite open! -- but then futzed around with an unmapped rootstock before finding the one with the flag.
9-10 I went back to the major trail and looped around from the right, though I stayed on the trail too long before angling up to the control. No problems from there on in.
Ended up 2nd instead of 3rd -- Patty L. said she confused the 6 and the 9 on the way to 6 and lost a lot of time...
FR = 7.48 km, 233m climb
