Event: NEOC: Blue Hills Traverse and Meet
 

Like I needed this. Ran to the start, but saw no one along the trail and no signs, so doubled back and went up the road to the north. Finally looped around and found the real start. Unfortunately, got there 10 min late so missed all the crowds and had no one to run with almost the entire race.

Pretty sucky day. Started badly by missing the start by 10 min. Clean to the butterfly, then blew #8, the northern control, just skimming past it and losing 10 min on relocation. Then clean to 19 and was a little high, but looking up rather than down and lost 6 min. Struggled to 20, contouring straight across the cliffs (guess I need to make a note to stay off those). Went across the trail to 21 and up, but not up enough, and ultimately found 22 and went back to 21 fifteen min later.

So a good half hour lost on mistakes, and slowed way down once the rocks got slippery as that's how I trashed my quads last year with a bad slip. Came in all in one piece, but not too satisfying.
