Brown course at Mountain Lakes in N Salem NY (JROTC meet), 3.8 km / 115m climb. About 40 and sunny, though it clouded up by the time we left. I'll take it for December, though. :-)
Others leaving the road on my attack for #3 distracted me (I should have stopped) and I climbed too high and found #4 first. After spending more time than I expected after leaving the road I had checked control codes in case I did see #4 first; then I just had to double back. No problems after that, beyond a thorn in my left heel that kept bothering me after my return to #4, until I sat down on the leg from 7-8 to deal with it...3 minute or so delay. Mistake at 3 and sit-down later cost me about 10 minutes.
1st on the course*, ahead of the 80 year old men. :-/
*When I left. Apparently someone else finished faster.

Short course at RHINO. I was just going to walk but when I saw others out there got competitive. Missed a turn to 8 and had to bounce back off the bigger trail.
Added: 1:5000 map, 1.9 km, 90m climb
Colder than earlier race, and dark, but rain held off until later. :-)
Leg 1 includes a stop at the car to get a windbreaker layer (my raincoat, which was useful Sunday morning) and put it on. I was surprised to have caught up to Lyn who had started several minutes earlier but it turns out she headed to 10 first instead of 1. Both were hilltops. :-(

Mostly sunny and low 50s; around the compound. I stopped to talk to a neighbor without stopping watch (she wanted to ask if I'd done Nordic walking, and if I would be interested) and I've deducted those from my time though not the track.
