ahr:170 max:185 spiked:17/19c shoes: La Sportiva C-Lite 2.0
Much colder today, and after the rain yesterday, the snow was crusty, and paved roads were a bit icy. Armco Park was mostly open, with ballfields, etc. About half of the controls were packed into an area of medium to dark green. There were also several stream crossings; I hesitated on the first crossing, but after that, I figured I might as well plunge right in.
I had a pretty good run, with just two mistakes. On #12, I entered the green from the wrong knoll (about 30-40 meters NE of the one I wanted), and took a moment to relocate. Then I exited #14 the wrong way, and got completely turned around. This would be a good place to note that a compass is a valuable tool. At the start, I forgot my compass in my pocket, but decided to forget about it, because the park was so open, I probably wouldn't even look at it. It would have come in real handy leaving #14!
