Mass-start Red at Lake Accotink. The mass start didn't work out too well, because there weren't enough participants. (The same courses were available for regular starts while registration was open.) Courses had some challenges despite the confining nature of the park. One challenge was the 1:7500 map scale, which I never really caught on to, although I did notice that my pace counts were long. I also missed #9 on the first loop, going straight to 10 without noticing.
The herbaceous border on the lake near the dam was good for butterflies. Variegated fritillary, pearl crescent, E. tailed-blue, grass skippers, and a single dainty sulphur, a first for me, and not surprising, because it is well out of its normal range this fall, and is almost never seen in this area.
