Trol 10 Possum Creek Orange Course.
20 degree temperatures and snow that was crunchy on the top but soft underneath. This could be a problem if you stepped at the wrong place and you hit the icy layer with your ankle.
I felt much more confident this week at Possum Creek than I have in past Trol weeks. Unexpectedly hit 7 exactly and ran relatively fast for the trail conditions. The course featured the control at the shed that the boardwalk leads to. In each other year when I have had that control, I have fallen into the marsh. This year, you couldn't see the boardwalk under the snow so I ran straight to the shed.
