Green X on Letchworth West map. 5.3 km with 190m climb. A much better designed course and a lot more fun than yesterday. First half was technical, similar to yesterday with less steep climbing and/or side-hilling. Second half was in a flatter area with lots of trails, so very fast. Missed on the route choice to 5 and had to do some zig-zagging to avoid a free fall down a 6 contour hill. Probably could've been a minute faster on that leg. Small hesitations near the circle on a few of the controls but figured them all out pretty quickly. Lost time on the 13-14 leg by going left of the line near the Nature Center building rather than taking the trail to the right of the bee line. Spent more time in rough open which cost more time than I thought. 3rd in M60, 20 seconds behind Soupbone and about a minute behind Tim P. 4th for the combined in M60, thanks to my non-stellar performance on the first day. Nice event by the ROC folks (as always). Weather was good too - mid-70s and sunny.
