Slow but very enjoyable Red course at Pawtuckaway. Heat not a factor because I wasn't running. No problems with the ankle brace - wore thicker socks and no painful pressure points developed. Navigated without compass to add a little challenge. One really bad route choice from 2 to 3 and one directional screw up leaving 4 - otherwise pleased with my navigation and I love those GIANT rocks. Followed up with a refreshing swim.

Morey Pond in Union. Explored the entire shoreline on both sides of I84. Trip through the tunnel is fun. Had planned to park the boat and explore Lead Mine Hill but the numerous No Trespassing signs seemed to mean business.

WCOC Score O at Trout Brook Valley on a beautiful sunny day. Trying out the brace. Only gave the ankle one good tweak even though I did quite a bit of running in the forest. Need to pad two points on the brace to make it a bit more comfortable. Score O time limit was 100 minutes, so I gave back most of my points in overtime penalties. Spiked 10 of the 13 controls and really blew two. Finished at #14 which was worth the most points but was farthest from the start/finish. Ran the trails back but way too slow.
Results are posted and I came in dead last. Mission accomplished.
