Boulder Dash, Beaver Brook Association Farm, NH. I started off okay tenatively to #1. I had slight bobbles at #2 and #4 but lost a bunch on #3 by not dropping down far enough. On #6, I passed my planned attack point on the trail and came around the back way from another trail. Through the most technical area of #6, #7 and #8, I alternated slowish and faster paces but knew where I was most of the time. I was really glad to get out it without serious errors. I hesitated long in deciding how to go from #11 to #12 and in the end stuck to the trails as much as possible. Generally, I used very safe attack points that took me out of the way through most of the race and it paid off. There was plenty of room for improvement but I felt pleased with the result. The constant and sometimes heavy rain didn't bother me much though I was worried crossing the stream on the way to #4. I didn't stop to drink the whole race.
