Green course at SVO local event at Rocky Ridge. 5.3km, 200m climb. Decided against doing the 7k Red course as I was a bit tired and sore from the trail race yesterday. Another fine October day with temperature about 70F and sunny. Visibility generally good as the vegetation has started preparing for Winter. A decent run with small errors on two controls. Off to the left approaching #7 but noticed a trail marker closer than expected and corrected. Left the trail too soon attacking #8 but figured that out pretty quickly. Probably 2-3 minutes total lost. Lots of trail running (there are lots of trails) and several controls were orangish because of nearby strong attack points. Course could have used an additional control between 8 and 9 too keep it from being a long trails run to a trail junction control. Still a fun day in the woods.

10k trail race at ChesLen Nature Preserve near Coatesville, PA. Mostly double-wide trails with some roots, a few stream crossings and lots of ups and downs. A good portion was through fields on well mowed trails. Started walking some of the hills after the halfway point. Finished 4/11 in 60+ and 45/114 overall. First M60+ was 42:xx! 60s at the start and sunny but not uncomfortably warm.
