West Point Middle Green X. Good course, could have navigated better. From 3 to 4 I went out to the road and attacked from the top of the first step, but still missed the hilltop. Then I mindlessly chased a big group down to a control at the other end of the formline from 5. But worse was leaving 7 180 deg off for the short leg to 8. Got to the stream, realized my error (funny, I thought I had just outrun everyone), came back down the stream to the control, probably 3 min lost on a 1-min leg. Everything else was fine. Chose the road from 9 to 10, and from 13 to 14.

Butterflies this run:
Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta): dozens of them! This is part of a huge migration. They're flying north, fast and close to the ground, crossing the parking lot at the rate of several per minute. You can only get a look at them if they stop and perch for a while.

Drumm loop. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5236884. Seemed best to get it over with before work, as it was already warm and humid.
