Nice green course by George at Town Forest in Simsbury. Not my best day, though. Woke up today with an inflamed left hip, and aggressive rolling did little to calm it down. By the time I was off in the woods it was sore enough that I just wanted to get back, so mostly walking, getting a lot of sticks in the face.
Map and Route1. Not much to it, just trail to the hill and climb.
2. Lots of pine saplings in the way, lots of sticks in the face.
3. Kept trying to fight to the trail to the east,kept getting pushed south by vegetation, so a lot of fight. Once I finally got tot he trail it was easy,
4. A little off to the right,r an into the marsh and had to back out.
5. Again trying to fight toward the trail to the east, getting pushed around by sticks in the face. Once I crossed the trail it was easier, although I drifted a bit, but no problem correcting when I finally saw the marsh. Saw Joe near here.
6. I had pretty much had it by here, just struggling, trying to keep going. Saw a flag at the stonewall after I bounced off the marsh. Missed the flag a little high and hunted for it a bit.
7. Really out of it by here, wandered off to the right and then along the marsh.
8. Flag seemed really far down the spur. Map confirms it.
9. Again a hard time getting out to the trail. Along the trail hoping to see the two dot knolls before the control, or the control itself, but no - just bumped into the trail junction and had to come back.
10. Easy, although not moving at all well even downhill on the trail.
