Red course at Sessions Woods (WCOC); weather: partly sunny and very humid, temps in mid to upper 70s. Originally thought I'd do Green but decided I need more time on my feet (and more controls to find doesn't hurt, either).
I was sticky with sweat before I ever got to number 1 - ick. Drank all the liquid I was carrying (24 oz) and a cup at the water stop (boulder near the road, #44).
Didn't have trouble with the navigation, except on #19 which didn't show up due east of the south end of the pond so I explored a bit to the north along the ridge before heading back south. I probably lost 5 minutes (edited from 3 minutes) or so here. At previous events I've been approaching this site (cute little depression in a reentrant) from the north and haven't had trouble finding it. This, and a bit of uncertainty near 3, lead me to believe the map is a bit skewed in these areas because I was trying to do the short legs on compass and had to adjust. Or it's just me.
