US Relay Champs - Leg 4 on 12 point team (a Green course). At Mendon Ponds (County Park?) near Rochester, NY. A mix of wide open fields (with lots of controls out in the open and forked legs) and glacial terrain with big ups and downs. Very nice course by Will Hawkins - lots of fun. Had a quite good run with 2 or 3 minutes of errors total. Managed to move the EMPO team up two places to get the Silver! Weather was great - partly sunny and 70's (a bit warm for running, but perfect for before and after).

Event: US Middle Distance and Relay Champs
 

US Middle Distance Champs at Letchworth SP (West Side). Excellent run - lost about 1 minute on # 8 by not finding a trail which crossed a marsh on a bridge and slogged through the marsh. Also was off to the left a bit. First in M55, 3rd overall on Green. Nice course set by Dick Detwiler - 5 short technical legs followed by some longer legs in a flatter area with a trail network. Nice weather too, sunny and 70's (reaching the 80's later in the day)

Sprint 2 at ROC A-meet (not a sanctioned event, just for fun - and Sprint Series points). Lost about 20 seconds on # 5 when I got into a mucky marsh and another 15 or so on # 6 when I went a bit too far. 5th overall but would've been 2nd if I was 10 seconds faster. Sunny and quite warm (80's).

Trail run at Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Georgeous day - 70's and sunny. A few muddy spots, but not too wet. One very small patch of snow on the trail in some hemlocks - I suspect it'll be gone by tomorrow. Tried to take it easy, but since the park spans a ridge and parking is at the bottom, it's not possible to avoid hills. Probably climbed 100m or so. Stayed mostly on main trails, i.e. no mtn. bike single track. Legs seem mostly recovered from the BG.

Easy road run north on 66 and back. Legs still somewhat sore and tired. Right hip tightened up a bit during the run - what's with that? Nice day - low 50's and sunny.
