Mass start, for Masters and veterans at 11:45 , everyone to the same first control. A 2 loop butterfly at #6. Without the others I would have been slower. I took some different routes to some of the controls, but every time the other M70s would appear at or near the control, and that helped a lot...I was faster running than the group I was with, so could catch up if I missed a bit, and in the end the last 4 legs were street running, and was able to pull away from the others. A really nice experience with other veterans, plus talking to some folks I haven't seen in awhile. 5th of 15, 7 minutes back.
