Made yet another attempt at the course record for the Valley Goat I. Lagged behind Sergei's pace by a minute by # 5. Held that gap to grow only slowly through ~2/3 of the way through then with 3 controls to go (after my 'better' skip) I was 20 seconds ahead. I knew Sergei really hammered the end of that course so I had to as well. With 2 controls to go I was 7 seconds behind, then had 1 minute of up-wind running to go - finishing 2 seconds ahead of Zhyk's original time.
Aside from the ~15mph North wind, conditions were great. Forest was still stiltgrass free, several of the fields were recently mowed, it was cooler (45-50, vs. 55-60 on race day) plus I took the better skipped control, so I'm not quite as fit as Zhyk was, but I'll still take this as a course record :)
