ahr:118 max:159 shoes: ASICS Gel Venture 6 (#1)
Street-O in Bisbee, AZ. Aerial photo with 21 locations circled and multiple choice questions to answer to verify visiting the location. The same map used for the event two years ago, so I had already visited the locations, but didn’t remember with certainty any of the answers (and still had to navigate). The map is quite dark and the numbers and circles were printed in purple so I could only see them in full sunlight and at a full stop.
I traversed the course this year counterclockwise, heading first to the lower part of the town. Did one bushwhack from 9 to 8, a steep climb up a spur. Only significant error was when I missed a passageway going from 2 to 3 and ended up going right by 1 without realizing it. Recovered OK, partly by recalling that control 3 was at the Circle K.
Lots of fun and good navigating practice using different information than usual. Very nice day - sunny and low 70s.
