Event: ONB Fishbones 2, Brookvale Provincial Park, PEI
 

Brookvale Nordic Ski Area, PEI. Temp 75-80 with HIGH HUMIDITY. A little more tolerable in the woods. Three loops. Thought I'd quit after 2 but as i approached the map change control, I decided to get water and see how much longer the course would be. 1.3km. Not bad, so I decided to complete it. Unfortunately, the Combination of being exhausted, reading the map, searching for water and having a woman block my view of the control resulted in my not punching that control. It occurred to me on the way to #1, but I was too tired to go back. I chose between going back and being tempted to quit, versus continuing and likely getting an mp. The last loop was hard and I walked a lot, but I finished.
I was pleased to see that I was ahead of both Marion and Joanne Woods as I began the third loop, but I did not have a chance of keeping up with them.
The Farsta was lots of fun in this area with a spaghetti plate of trails. People were everywhere going every which way. Great courses and great map.
Left afterward for Nova Scotia.
