FP XX day 1 at Miami Whitewater Forest, in the woods west of the reservoir that's west of the golf course. SL was 3.1 km; 160 m climb listed (5%?!), and 14 controls.
Interesting course with a middle feel. My lack of fitness showed especially during any uphills where I was battling gravity. Picked my way carefully on downhills. Still managed to tumble once but it was a rolling fall, not a trauma-to-knees one. Knee achy the entire time.
Woods were largely open, and where they weren't (honeysuckle was starting to leaf out, sometimes mixed with briars) there were routes around to consider.
Small mistakes going into two of the three controls I'm calling non-spikes; not visualizing right on #3; possible wrong angle off trail to 7 but I had a good vantage point looking at the ditch/reentrant situation and picked the right one; went low 13-14 and climbed one reentrant too early but corrected (and led a half dozen folks just behind me in). Final hill was a slog by that point. Some good times posted by F55s and F60s. Natalia was second fastest on the course, about 5 minutes behind Erin Schirm (who ran the Brown open in about 32:45). Shelley and Ursula were both faster than me today too.

Walk from finish to download (and clothing return).
Temp today was upper 40s to low 50s but the wind makes it feel significantly colder. Fortunately it wasn't too windy in the woods I was in, but I heard about someone who watched a tree fall.
Yesterday was a bit nicer, near 60, and sunny; but still windy. Tomorrow's not supposed to be as windy.
