A very nice event at Possum Creek, with weather much better than it was last year for this meet. It's a tough park to set courses because of all of the green, but Tom did a pretty nice job throwing in some good challenges and route choices. Also had a nice mix of long and short legs.
My time is approximated, and doesn't include the 40 minutes I spent looking for my SI stick. I figured that I dropped it coming out of the stream crossing between 7 and 8, and spent at least 10 minutes in the water looking. (Spent a lot of time wondering whether SI cards float) I slowly and carefully retraced my steps from 7 to the stream 4 times. Literally moments before I would have called-off the search, I found it in a patch of honeysuckle, about 40 meters away from control 7. Glad I found it.
The rest of the course was pretty good. I think I was at or near 10min/k.
