Anza Borrego Classic. I had a really good, even great run, massively better than the Goat physically and technically. Just a couple hesitations/bobbles, which were all corrected quickly. On 3, I was one hill/ridge to the right; on 14, I came into the reentrant a bit high (though it was also posited that the control may have been a bit too low); on 18, I was also a bit high but corrected after seeing the trail at the top of the ridge. I was pleased to be <1min behind AJ's winning time (though Joe would have improved that by 2-3 minutes had he not forgot to punch at a water control).
I much prefer the flatter, faster, subtler parts of AB to the steeper, slower parts, where you can stretch your legs out and feel like you're moving well instead of dealing with almost countless steep hillsides of slippery rocks.

The famous slot canyon maze-o. I managed to find all 10 controls with some minutes to spare, so that's a win - and I only got into one precarious spot, where I climbed halfway down a cliff and had to turn around and go back up because it was too scary.
