Classic Champs Brown. Gorgeous day and a really nice area, from the assembly to the start to the forest itself. I started out kind of tentatively, taking a roundabout route to the first control (on the trail all the way to the stream crossing, then up the reentrant and up to the spur). It was safe, but it was a little slow. Then on #2, a parallel error and would have been a disaster but for the barbed wire fence. Better but not perfect on 3-5, tentative at the decision points. Then I got wind in the sails, taking the direct route to 6 and good running from there on in. I was pretty happy with the run.
Fastest time on Brown today, but only by about a minute. It could easily have gone another way.
