Orienteering race (Patuxent River Park) 1:20:37 [1] *** 6.3 km (12:48 / km) +87m 11:58 / km
Garmin = 4.78 miles
This was the Snakeless Summer Series event put on by Amy. All of the streamers were on the trail and/or creek junctions, with just a couple slightly off trail. Amy does not like snakes, and she makes no secret of it either. You would know if you heard her come across one while in the woods.
So, this event allowed you to stay all on trails, if you were so inclined, in order to avoid being surprised by any snakes. There were a few short cuts you could take, and I took most of them, though I should have worn something besides shorts...got a little scratched up.
Ran when I could, including most of the trail dead straight trail leg from 4-5. My time was 6:48 (11:51 mph) for 908 meters.
Only error was to 12, one of the off trail controls in a reentrant, when I zoned and visited a ditch, going sooner off the trail than I should have.
Back to the finish to the cheers of Peggy, who was getting ready to go out.
Chatted briefly, gobbled down some Amy's wonderful triple chip cookies, grabbed some more for the road, and then off to the house to meet Lailah and Matt.
Have only run the this map in the fall, on the stumps...here is what the big field looks like in the summer.

Note
Had a nice visit with Lailah. We went to the pool, and then we played a long time with the vintage cabbage patch dolls, taking them to the "pool."
