Flying Pig Long at Yellowwood SP near Bloomington, IN. 3.8 km and 200m nominal climb. A very nice day with lots of sun and temps in the 60s.
Navigation good...except for one control (#2) which was a comedy of errors. I was distracted leaving the first control by Walt Lyons who headed down a trail I thought was correct, until it didn't look right and I realized we were headed 90 degrees off course. I had passed him, so when I turned around I mentioned we were headed in the wrong direction. He managed to get the rest of the navigation to 2 right after that, and finished 10 minutes ahead of me. Once I got in the valley I headed up the wrong creek bed and ended up much closer to 5, though I never saw it until later. Decided to head west to the trail west of #2 (still thinking I was close)...and ended up on the next trail north which drops into a valley with a steep bank on the opposite side. That's when I finally knew where I was, and I was able to get back to 2 okay.
Just a slog from there, especially on the uphills. I messed up the fine negation between 8 and 9 and added some distance but knew where I was. I'll try to do better at the sprints tomorrow. Ended up 7th of 7 in F60.
