US Masters Champs Day 1 at Gunstock Ski Resort. Brown-X (3.3k, 95m). Spectacular day - sunny and in the 50s. Less than spectacular run with a big error on #4 (8 min) and a smaller error on #6 (2 min). AP says I also lost 30 seconds on the first control. On both 4 and 6 I lost track of my elevation crossing the ski hill and climbed up to correct when I needed to just continue for 4 and drop for 6. 2nd in M65 and 6th overall on Brown-X.

Middle Valley Run Natural Area in northern Delaware. Saw this area on the map as we were driving by, drove in to check it out and ended up taking a nice walk through the woods (partly to procrastinate the rest of the drive home and take advantage of a very nice day weather wise). Nice mature forest with a good trail network, but quite a bit of scratchy undergrowth.

Red course on the Star Village map. 6.6k, 290m. Rocks everywhere! Some trails were hard to see in the terrain, particularly on the south hillside. Had a pretty good run, although a lot of it was walking due to rockiness combined with steepness of the hills (descents through rocks being a bit scary at times). Found all the controls where I expected them to be but unfortunately three of the epunch boxes didn’t record, including the one at the end of the 2k long leg. Nice day for running around in the woods - 50s and mostly sunny.
