spring hit today - bulging buds on trees, daffodils opened, everytihng at once. Easy ride in and back, a bit sore and stiff

Flyiing Pig Scout camp Indiana. Middle Green. Beautiful warm and mostly clear day. I aimed to run clean with an honest but not overwhelming effort (matching my low fitness), and that worked very well. Only two errors (a minute or two loss), and about as good of a result as i can expect without having footspeed, strength, or endurance. Had to walk the uphills - just too steep for my fitness. Many of the controls I pretty much spiked - knew where is was going, what I should see, and saw it. I am happy., Looking forward to having more fitness

Flying pig, yellowwood state park indiana. Green course. Beautiful day, fun to be in the woods. I am not in good enough condition to run hard, especially with so many tough hills, so i focused on clean navigation. Mostly successful - about 3 fairly minor errors (I'm guessing about 1-2 minutes each). I was often pushed off of handrails by major clumps of down trees that completely blocked passage. A couple of doglegs (from hilltop, down to punch, then back up) resulted. Not as many route choices as i had hoped for, but the control locations were interesting and fun. Tom S dominated the course, 20+ minutes faster than me, Great after-run course analysis and discussion with NEOOC and others.
