Flags will stay up on this course to be used for training. It's very much a runner's map. Translation: I over ran far too many targets. I'll put race comments in my splits.
I went back and ran the long intermediate which will also be left flagged for training. Before next season, I'll make sure that the tape is removed.
I stayed in the forest until 17h30 hoping to stumble upon Lucy the lost Labrador. Sadly, it didn't happen.

I guess I didn't have much left in the tank for this one. I'm thankful that the volunteers let me start late. Comments are in my splits.

I'm covered in blister and bruises which will probably still be there at next week's North American championships.
Today I startled the same poor porcupine that I stumbled upon two weeks ago. In a race with a snail and a clam, I'm pretty sure the porcupine loses.
Pat passed away yesterday. I'm really sorry that I didn't get her to train me.
