Sprint A at Ratlum Mountain. Took a side excursion to the pond on the way to #1 and then bumbled around in the woods way too long on #3 and #7. Sunny and low 70s, just about perfect. Followed by good food and socializing. Thanks Charlie and Rhonda.

Sprint B. Cut across the field a bit early to #1and checked a couple of extra rocks. Hit the rest of them pretty well although my routes in and out between trails and controls weren't always optimal.

Red course on Pleasant Valley Farms map (the revised and expanded Norray Farm map). Nice course by Phil H-T giving us the full tour of the area south of Pleasant Valley Road. Most of the course was in woods with some running in open (yet to be mowed) fields and some limited trail running. Several legs relied fairly heavily on compass in areas of low contour detail (but there are plenty of hills).
Had a pretty good run with the only real miss on 14 when I got confused by the trails and fields near the control. Hesitated a few times and overshot two controls (but caught myself on both of them in ~ 30m). Probably 2 - 3 minutes total error. SL distance 6.0 km.
