Note
Organizing Charlestown Street O.
Looks like ~5.7 K straight-line and 7.8 K logical route. With a hill or two. Maybe Ross does this in 35 minutes. I have no idea. I wonder if that is the right distance?

Note
The SS Finals were largely as I expected. And despite that and because of that, I am quite glad I went. It was such a Vlad production.
From a competitive standpoint, the men's field was stronger than I expected, 3/5 of my performances were OK, and the last two were epic failures.
I had thought they would have some sort of prize money, and had thought they gave out a prize for SS leaders before the Finals proper, but they had (nice) non-cash prizes instead for the four bracket winners which was OK, too. Still, I think the men's winner hadn't run any other races before Friday, and had no problem winning over all. (He was pretty clearly the strongest guy, so that is great, but it just makes me question if there is any point to trying to lead the regular season standings.)

CSU Charlestown Street O.
Thin attendance, but a lot of fun. Ross, Brendan, and Loris and Presto were there.
My hips/glutes were still unhappy from the SS Finals, and I had a lot of GI discomfort, so I was taking this nice and easy. The GI didn't get worse, so I didn't need to bail early like I thought I might.
Some really cool running at times. I'm glad I invested the time to get the MassGIS orthos, merge them together, and Condes the map. I found myself using both, and happy I had them.
