Second time racing at Chester Woods; I opted to run red instead of the Minnegoat due to multiple time constraints bearing down on me this weekend....
Course was 7k with 10 controls, all of them fairly easy. I think probably the most effort was given to setting the Goat (fair enough) with the assumption that most of last years' Red runners would be running that (true).
As a result, many of the controls were repeats of last year's controls and that was a bit of a disappointment... and a good bit of the run was on trails. On the bright side of that, I knew some things to avoid and also knew what the vegetation would be like and I knew I had to just keep pumping so I didn't really allow myself to rest and planned prior to reaching controls.
I've been encouraging Robin to FINALLY write in her log (Aunt Doggie), but since she may not comply, I'll point out for her that this was her first Advanced course (Brown), and that her older-but-not-oldest sister absolutely SLAMMED her on the only common control, where it can be seen that Linear Ice ran in under 4 minutes, and Aunt Doggie took almost 30 minutes.
