Checking out an area north of Piperwood for a potential map. Started out at Indian Hill and ran the Crescent Trail through the Jensen property and to the Town property. It is excellent topography but the vegetation kind of stinks. Still, with two 60 acre parcels (Piperwood and Town property) right next to each other, we might get a usable map.

Lots of hills and a pretty slow pace.

Relay Champs - running an unofficial leg with Mitch, Vince and Rob - who thankfully let me tag along. Although based on how I felt, I am not sure I should have run. I was just worn down from all of the meet work and had to walk much more than I anticipated. Additionally I am not sure I was prepared for the heat and dryness.

Still, the courses were challenging (even for my umpteenth time in Mendon) and the overall course layout set a great atmosphere for the relay. I also received probably the biggest Orienteering cheer I will ever get as I came through the finish chute as awards were in progress and Mike/Rick? gave me a nice announcement. It is better to get a cheer for shuffling papers than for nothing.

Now it is time to get back on track and do some running!
