| Fair Hill - Mason-Dixon - Day 2 of the Fox Chaser A-event M45 Red course. Tried to channel the spirit of Barbaro to summon up some speed before my early start. I felt like I ran a little better today. But I made sub-optimal route choices on a couple legs which appear to have cost me about 3 mins or so.
Still good enough for first in M45. I'll savor it while it lasts because I'm sure I'll be humbled at Surebridge in a few weeks. My knowledge of the terrain at Fair Hill from setting the Long-O courses undoubtedly gave me some advantage, not sure how much.
Fair Hill is one of my favorite places to orienteer. The place has a great aesthetic and I just love running through those fields. |

| Fair Hill - Control Pick-up. Eight controls including a few up along the Mason-Dixon line. Best part was trying to orienteer behind the wheel while driving my car through the open fields. |

| Fair Hill - Little Egypt - Fox Chaser A-Event Day 1 M45 Red course. Was happy with this run - just a few seconds of errors here and there. Biggest time lost was at #13 where I fumbled with the unopened water jug to get a drink. |

| Brandywine Creek SP - Very warm, mid 70's, sunny. Headed east from the bridge parking lot climbing to the Jewish Community Ctr then down to the creek, crossing at Adams Dam. Climbing again through the western fields including the always grueling Maintenance Hill. Only a modicum of mud. |
