Rec Brown (versus NRE) at Pawtuckaway. Fairly clean walk, with some minor inefficiencies here and there. Started a few minutes behind Tony Federer, then saw him at the first control - looks like he might have gone more straight, while I took the trail around. Was paralleling him until shortly before 5, when he got turned around in the thicker stuff coming down the reentrant, while I got lucky by noticing a boulder than seemed too large, noting it was on a steeper section and the control should be just too my left - turned and there it was, although tucked into the light green, rather than just outside it. Tried to keep my HR below 110-115, think it crept up above that a couple times, but feeling good.

Change of pace/locale - Shaker State Forest in Canterbury, just N of the NH Motor Speedway (aka Loudon Racetrack) on Rt 106. Have run around here a few times - seemed like it had possibilities, so thought I'd explore a bit off the trails.
Recently logged areas and areas logged a few years back that are now growing in are crap, but there's some nice woods in between and around them.
