Really enjoyed this course! Terrain and course design were great, woods were runnable. Since taking routes around didn't really work for me yesterday, I focused on just going straight wherever it made sense.
Hit 1 spot on, off to a good start. Drifted a little on my way to 5, but hit the big reentrant to the NE so easily corrected. Followed the creek from 8-9, which was slow going. The other option was climbing, running along the top and dropping back down. That probably would've been faster, but I think avoiding climb was a good choice for me. Only real error was on 17. I thought I had drifted on my bearing, so hopped on the trail and expected I'd be able to see the flag from there. I didn't, so overshot and had to backtrack.
Legs felt a lot better than I expected, definitely better than yesterday. Happy with my navigation and route choice. Saw a lot of people running everywhere in the woods, which was fun.
