Beautiful day at Pond Mtn on the Red Course. Drove out with Bill Duncan, pleasant company. Generally finding controls fine, but navigation was a little loose. Only one big mistake, at #8, but had to look around a bit on a few of them when I got to the right general area. The only person I saw out on the course was Jenny Hawkins, Tiny Feet's grandmother. She was heading uphill toward #6 when I was going down toward 5, and then I passed her on the way down toward #7, although she had a different control there.
Compression socks kept my calf happy, but the back was aching and I wasn't able to run at all fast. 1 and 2 were fine, going on trail as much as possible. Took a hard fall between 1 and 2 and had to lay there a while until the shock of it wore off. 3 and 4 were a tough climb. All that bike riding didn't prepare me adequately for how hard that was. 5 I stopped a bit short and had to look, but just kept going and eventually got there. 6 I stopped short and looked around passing the big line of bare rock, but kept going and banged right into it. 7 I was a bit off to the left and had to stop and look until I saw it. 8 was the only significant error. I was too far right, and then climbed too much until I realized what was going on. Had a harder time coming back down! The rest were pretty unremarkable, running pretty good routes and finding them just fine. For the long leg to 13, I realized that a road/trail approach would be the fastest, but wanted to do more in the woods. I angled toward the Trail heading N and left it after the bend, contouring around the worst of the hill and going not far from 14 in the process. Very tired in the latter part, but hustled a bit to stay under 100 minutes.
The map with route. Nominal distance 6.9K, so I seem to have done a bit extra. More extra than I would have guessed.
