Once again the weather was damn near perfect. It was cool but not too cool but I heated up pretty quickly even though up top I was just wearing a t-shirt and a jacket.
The line-o portion of the course was hilly but not too difficult. A good deal of the line-o was along trails or well defined train features. I was completely unfamiliar with line-o prior to this event; I hadn’t even heard of it. I tried not to take that portion of the course too seriously. I focused on staying on course and didn’t worry too much about missing controls. I found them all even though I misplaced one of them (by 10 or 20 meters) on my map.
The score-o portion of the course was more challenging. The controls weren’t difficult to find, but the terrain was physically challenging; in other words, there were lots of steep hills. There was also a fair amount of mud and a swampy area that had to be crossed to get to most of the score-o controls. I was ankle deep in mud on a few occasions.
There was no e-punching. Very few people, just 11, attempted the advanced (line-o/score-o) course.
