Red course at French Creek Central (6.5km, 235m). Visibility reduced since the leaves have emerged. Nice running weather - low 60s and overcast (rain held off until about 3:00 after most people were done).
An OK run. Wrong route choice to #4 - went up to the trail by the fence and then descended a steep hill to a trail which was a bit indistinct in the terrain. Better route was to descend and run the road (control was just off the road). Lost a few minutes on #9 by attacking from the road junction (300m away) rather than staying on the road longer to attack from closer. Off by a little bit on a few other controls but usually spotted the bag. One significant fall resulting in some pretty sore ribs.
