ahr:154 max:183 spiked:23/26c shoes: Ice bug blue new
Possum Trot at Blue Gray Park.
My first Possum Trot and I’ll be back next year!!
It was a blast. On my own after the 2 nd control, so it was challenging and super fun. Lots of trails to use and distinct gully’s and streams etc to navigate by. I ended up 9 th overall, but over 1/2 hour back.
The weather was almost perfect as it was cold, but not a cloud in the sky.
Actually Saturday morning I sprained my big toe in the hotel room, but held up today just fine. I skipped #22 which most others did also.
The new date of the weekend before Thanksgiving works for me do from now I’m in this event.

PrePosum Trot. All the years and I’m now the night before my first famous Possum Trot.
Today was a 2.9 K sprint and it was simple but from 6-7 I looked to take the easy route ( non thinking ) to the road. Lost 2 minutes struggling uphill in the greenish Woods. Oh well my one usual mistake at a meet.

Went to Green bush for some training. The leaves were down, visibility great and the area is still tough. Might need a Lidar update, would be cool.
We got there late and by 4:30 it was getting dark. So shortened time out there for a 3 hour total drive.

Nice run with Katie and my old training partner and his dog up visiting from Texas. Bristol woods and it is such a perfect place as we encounter no one on the trail. Which was good, as his well trained dog listens to his call back. Stella would of been a pain in the butt taking her on my on my waist leash.
