Brown course at Ward Pound Ridge, HVO's one-day NRE event. Rode down with Bill, nice to see the HVO and WCOC folks, Peter, Phil and Steve down from MA, Hua and Tai, Kseniya, Nadia, Lina. Quite a nice gathering and a fine day.
I was a little apprehensive as I had woken up with some pretty sore knots, particularly in the right hip area, but they didn't bother me much on the course and physically I felt 100% better than last week. Very nice course by Niels L-O. Only two bad controls. On 7 I let my mind wander for a bit and thought I had already reached the trail bend to go between the marshes. Instead I ended up backtracking around the first marsh and going too low on the other side and having to climb back up. Then I climbed over the hill to get to it. Just bad execution. Then on 8 I drifted low to the big cliffs,almost fell in a really scary place, and then realized where I was. So maybe about 4 minutes on 7 and 3 on 8. Otherwise pretty clean.
