Beautiful forest at Bosco Ragabo on the slopes of Aetna. Pine forest, little to no undergrowth, black volcanic soil under pine needles, with some very angular rock features, but really not all that many. There were mapped trails and there were unmapped trails, and I never did get the hang of them. I did much better when I was ignoring them and just going on contours. Some sizable mistakes, all trail related, at 2, 8 and 9. And really slow. I was a bit more constrained by sore back stuff today than yesterday, and really struggled to get moving. 10th again on the day, so plenty of room for improvement, and over 20 minutes back of the winner. Probably 10 minutes lost on the three bad controls, the rest just not moving very fast. Fun place to go, though, beautiful and an excellent forest for running, if a person could actually run. We are to come back to this area in a few days.
Long bus ride. We were to go to some caves afterwards, but that was forestalled by some pretty substantial rain that came in, thankfully after the race, so headed back to the hotel and I was tired by the time we got there.
Had a nice soup for lunch, beans and vegetables, at the Rifugio at Ragabo. Just a little bar-restaurant on the road up the mountain, next to the finish area.
