Event: QOC Royal Romp 2-Day Classic
 

My goal had been to be slow and careful and do a clean course. Slow yes. 2 major relocations on controls 3 and 8, and a slow choppy leg to 4, and then trouble finding it when i was within 20 meters of it. I should have seen that 4 was almost on the back slope of the ridge. But then had great routes to 5, 6, and 7. But lost confidence on the reentrant to 7 and backtracked to check my location on the stream and lost at least 10-15 minutes there. Have no idea what I did on 8. I relocated to the stream junction and still had trouble. But suddenly I knew i was at the top of the stream and followed the reentrant into the control. If I hadnt felt the oressure of time/race, I might have enjoyed the terrain. Id like to go back and refollow the course properly next time. I was tired and my lumbar hurt by end. Stretching later made my legs cramp. Thiught id be wasred for Sunday but was fine,
