A reasonable outing given my lack of training. My goal was to be less than double the winner of the course. I just squeaked through when Clem decided to run Red and not Blue.
Had a decent run through #12 but then got sloppy as I got tired. I know the splits say I have time lost to #2 but that's because there was a long road/trail run for everyone else and a long road/trail slog for me. Didn't trust my compass on #13 (boo, hiss, should know better than that), a suspect route to #14, a really bad route choice to #15, flailed around at #17 and then another bad route choice to #18. Probably lost at least 10 minutes in that last loop. But it's good training to try to get my mind to keep working when I'm tired.
Very good course in a park that I like. The footing is excellent and it's about the only place where I'm not constantly watching my feet to make sure I don't twist an ankle or go down on my knee. The blueberry bushes get tiresome after a while but since I'm not really trying to run too much they don't bother me as much as others.
