Xtreme Scramble 5K in Hartford. Course length is suspect. First M60-64. Except for the major stair climb to the Charter Oak Bridge, not as extreme - "dirty, dusty, muddy" as advertised.
Pratt Cove to Seldon Island and back again after hike on the island. Only one major speedboat encounter.

Hiking with MHC on Seldon Island led by director of the CT River Museum. Walking history lecture about the quarrying that took place there over 100 years ago. Nice views from cliff tops overlooking the river, the town of Deep River and the Valley Steam Railroad. It was my first visit to the 800+ acre island, but not my last I hope. Camping is allowed with reservation and given weather like today's would be a great place to stay.
