Brown course at Governor Dick.
This was a bit bizarre - there was a control inside a deer enclosure, a very large one with only a few gates. It was really, really, really hard to find the gates on the map and I eventually just resorted to running along the fence hoping I was going in the shortest direction to a gate. Not sure I picked the optimal routes. Also a tad pissed that someone climbed the fence even though we were told at the start not to and told that the gates were tough to see on the map but that we had to use them.
This could all have been avoided by having a map at the start with the gates clearly marked.
Anyway, a physically tough course with lots of climb and lots of rocky ground. My knees were not happy. I am not in very good shape. But I ended up with one of the better times on the course.

And then I decided to run the relay. Istvan and Andras agreed to run with me - we made a 6 point team. I hobbled around as fast as I could but lots of little kids totally smoked me. But it was enough for the win in the 6 point category. And would have been 2nd in the 3 point! Istvan and Andras had good runs. :)
Knees really not happy with this one.
