Green X course at Sycamore Scramble. Quite tired on this course and walked quite a bit. All routes were on the beeline or as close as possible. A bit wobbly when going through the green areas.

Drifted too far right on #3. Estimate1-2minutes lost. Went by control # 5 without seeing it as I was looking for a white woods area that didn't exist. Estimate 2 minutes lost on this leg. Was a bit wobbly on #8 as the map seemeda bit odd and I slowed up to make sure I hitthe control. Ran right over the top of #9 without seeing it. Estimate 2 minute error on this one.

Could have been cleaner on a couple of other controls, but the course was mainly notable by how slow and sore I was. Never loosened up at all.

Green X at Sycamore Scramble. Made mistakes on #2 (1 minute) and #3 (2:30 minutes),but steadied up after that and was pretty clean for rest of the course.

Sprint race at Sycamore Scramble. Was tired and sore after first leg, but managed to gut it out to the end. Misread control description at #12 and lost around 1-1:20. Two other mistakes in the 20-30 second range. Not a big fan of sprints.

Map walk on Sycamore Scramble model map. Area was a little overmapped. Some of the green features should have been removed. Big features seem to be very accurate, but the smaller ones are inconsistently mapped. Overall, a good map.

Model event course at Sycamore Scramble. Easy to go too fast and fall off bearing, even on short legs.
