NAOC - Middle Distance Green Y on Salmon River Fish Hatchery map. Complex glacial terrain with an excellent map and course. It was raining at the start and for most of the race. Fortunately it was fairly warm.
An OK run. Missed on two controls and had a bad route choice on another costing 6 - 7 minutes total. Was distracted on 3-4 by another runner and got pulled off to the left (3 min). Took the trail to the right on the way to 7 which cost 2 min. Went straight across the marsh to 10 but was off to the right. Also had hesitations at 8, 11, and 12. 10th overall on GreenY, 3rd M55. PG was 41:09, coach 43:32.
