Long Brown B course at Egypt Mills. Good running weather, and a better day than yesterday, but surprised at how long a 4.9 K course seemed! I was definitely dragging by the end, particularly along the road between 12 and 13. Had some trouble getting to #1, getting stuck in thorns left of where I had imagined I was going to be. Eventually got there, running into Gail who had started with me, fallen in the stream, and managed to walk there ahead of my wandering running. Then 2 was fine, I was high for 3, which meant I saw it just fine, and hit 4 right on after the long contouring leg. 5 was fine, but I went right by 6 too high and to the right, and ended up finding 7 first, which made 7 an easy leg when I had to do it for real. 8 easy, 9 easy, running behind Soupbone up the hill, then 10, 11 was fine. on 12 I got too far R and couldn't figure it out sweeping the hillside, so I dropped down below and had to climb up. Then 13 I had a hard time fighting my way back out to the road, and then the road seemed to last forever. Jon Torrance went by reasonably quickly. Eventually I cut off because I couldn't stand it anymore, but that was not a good plan. Lost some time searching too high and to the left. Rest was fine.
I think 6th in M65, not bad.
