Willard Brook SE, In The Dim. The intent was to try the Challenge Loop in the reverse direction, but I made a wrong turn either leaving Old City Road or shortly after, and ended up doing more (and extra) stuff in that section. I wasn't expecting rain, guess I wasn't paying attention, but it did. Not such a big deal since I wasn't wearing glasses, having stepped on them the other night, and sometimes you're in a mood where running through the woods in the rain in fading light seems like the right thing anyway.
Near the end I passed a couple of mountain bikers who had stopped for a moment. They had headlamps on, and as this crazy white-haired guy appeared out of the darkness and zipped by, one said something like, "How's it going?", and I replied "Great!". The next stretch was downhill, giving them the advantage, so they eventually overtook me, but as the second one passed me (I stepped to the side of the trail but kept running), he said "You've got a pretty good pace!", and I said, "Doing what I can". They very gradually pulled ahead, but they paused again at the trail junction, where I popped out, made an immediate left and headed for the car.

Back to Seeley to pick up Nancy's car, In The Dark. What the hell, I was already sopping wet. No glasses, no flashlight, no problem.
