"On the way" back from Green Bay, I stopped at BGR meet at Blue Mounds SP, west of Madison. Nice event. A smooth, clean race was a confidence builder. I maintained focus on plan a route, check-off features and pace-count. Could have pushed pace more, but slash, light green, and inconsistent footing made walking appealing. Joe S ran 42, Kevin T ran 45.

C • Blue Mounds 4

Counterclockwise around Tower Grove. Very cool plus north wind - first day of autumn. Read NH map - Fran's Day 2 Brown.

Lesson: read Contours, contours, contours.

Morning run in Forest Park felt sluggish until last 10 minutes. 75 with high humidity.

Good map reading of Beaver Brook NH map. Shakey but not disastrous (except #8) day 2 Geen run.
Lessons: From firm attackpoint (eg trail) do not just drift into control circle. Check off features.
In 'no man's land' of confusing terrain, check off features - use pace count.
