shoes: MudRock IV
Day 2 of the US Champs. I foolishly hoped that the second day would be easier than the first--it was much tougher. the terrain was even more detailed (and on a 1:15000 map to boot) and the control placement was extremely challenging. I ran very well, spiking controls 1-5. Unfortunately, controls 6 and 7 were missing, and I wasted a lot of time looking before I called off the search. I was a bit dejected thereafter, and was pretty tired and slow. Made one of the dumbest errors ever when I spiked #9 but stupidly checked it against the control code for #10. I wasted 8 minutes before I realized that I actually was on #9.
