Winter League 6 @ Camp River Ranch. John B and Vicki M set what I thought was a fantastic course - a short but physical control pick which was proper PNW jungle orienteering, like a exceptionally tough Bog Slog or a Peteris Tiger Mountain course from back in the day. One of those where two miles feels like ten.
I made a poor choice to climb straight out of 1, finding myself at the top of the hill, when I could have saved 2-3 contours by continuing east from 1, then climbing. My general strat was to go straight (i.e. off-trail) as much as feasible, which worked well with one or two suboptimal exceptions where it seems trails were faster, namely my route to 7 and perhaps 22. Still, a good run without any real mistakes.

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.
