US Nationals Middle, Brown A. 2.6 km, 35m climb (though I get 20m on my route). St.Patricks Park, South Bend, IN (with the first two controls in Michigan). Start at 3:27pm.
Excellent run despite the rain, mostly on trails. Complicated trail network - right up my alley. First overall. M65 was on Brown B, many legs in common, looks like I did very well even compared to those guys. Don't know how I managed it on only 2 hours of sleep.
Comparison with Brown B: 7 legs in common, which I did in 1318. Of the top 6 on Brown B (Soupbone, TomN, Tarry, Glen, Walter, Peggy), only TomN (second overall) was ahead (by 27).
It started drizzling (and was quite chilly) when I started my warm up. Held my magnifier in the palm of my hand to keep it dry. Fortunately, didn't need it until the middle of the race, and by then it had stopped raining.
