Ran the Red course at Osbornedale.....had a good run .... course had a lot of climb on it....felt good until I had to climb back up hill 12 to 13/14... the leg said "go to hell pal" but my back and hams held up well ... so I think I going to be ok as I move forward.....1-3 cake.... had to hunt a little for 4.... 5-7 good.... a small goof at 8 went over the bank to far to the southwest... had to go back up to the wall at the top and try again ...good to 9 and to about 10 yds from 10... got hung up in a big brush pile... that should be marked as 3m. brush cliff... ok to 11 but I was getting tired... then goofed up 12 by going way to the east and ended up by the ruins and had to head back down the hill.... bad route to 13 I ran the road and took the road to the north and cut in at the second wall and over the hill and down to the bridge and onto 13... Becky went back through # 9 and took the trail... which was a much better and faster way to go.... after 13 it was just gutting it out and getting done with the legs yelling bad words at me all the way got the last controls ok just not fast.... Pretty good day over all and I beat the rain.... course was fun and a great workout...... Thanks Rich and Jim... My legs have some other words for you ... but there are ladies around.... Feel like I have a chance to do the Billy Goat next week in less then 24 hours...
