DVOA Mt. Penn - Brown
Dropped to Brown for the day as I wasn't certain how things would feel out in advanced terrain. Only walking. Also tried to stay more to trail routes and out of the rocks as much as possible. I'm most worried about the jolt that would come from tripping hard, falling, or stepping in an unexpected hole. For the most part, everything felt ok. The course was a good summer one, not too difficult, and stayed in pretty nice parts of the woods. Stopped to o-vangelize for a few minutes with a guy who was power walking along the road. He had a little bit of an idea what was happening, saw me cut into the woods and wondered how I knew when to leave the road.
