Red course at Patuxent River Park. It was a great day for running, a little chilly when you were just standing around, but it felt great in the woods. I didn't have too much navigational trouble with this course, except for #4. I came to a stream and wasn't 100% sure where I was hitting it. I had a choice of reentrants, one on either side of me, and I picked the wrong one. I got to the top, didn't see the control, and had to go over one. Oh, well. Other than that, everything went well. The woods weren't as green, overall, as the map made it seem. There were some patches of pretty thick greenbriar, though, and my legs were stinging in the shower.
I had some falls today, but nothing too bad. I've realized that the thing I do most often that makes me fall is to kick up a branch with one foot and then trap it behind the other so I trip myself. I did that a few times today. Not so graceful. Just a loud thump and "Oof" on the way down.
