On the Broad Creek map in northern MD. Warm-up jog on the road in the Camp Saffran area. I hadn't run or done much for the last week so I thought it best for me to warm-up well even though it was an very nice 70F day. Weight 171 from the big and late dinner.

QOC Broad Creek. I enjoyed the day and Francis Hogel's course setting but surprised to only see a few people came out. Since I hadn't run much lately, I set out to just pace myself. I got caught-up in the green forcing an error at #2, almost made it to #4 before I realized I'd mis-read the field and had ignored the limited contours. I had some indecision and a small error on the way to #5. I got suckered in by the course notes to going a bit higher than I would otherwise have done to #9, and ran right above the control at #15. Though I've run on the map before, I found it difficult to read features. The dots and dashes for trails were printed more narrowly than other maps. The 1:9,000 scale with 25ft. contours also made it odd. See the split list.
