Fair Hill Strawbridge Fields, Green Course.
A perfect day in the woods and a really fun course by Tom O!
Went into the woods a little too early on #2, and went up the wrong stream but was able to relocate fairly quickly, still lost some time here.
#7 big long leg came to find myself in a pack with Diane, Kim and Ron Bortz. It was really fun to see them all ahead of me and try and catch up (which I did, but not with Ron of course!) Then eventually we parted ways.
#11 Um, dum dum, went too high up and got confused by lots of trails. This was my worst control. Dad beat me by a million on this one.
#12 - on the way here a lady with a horse buggy asked if I wanted a lift. I gracefully declined.
It was fun to go back and forth between fields and woods. Finding the entry points was the key. And then, at the end, concentrating on that maze of trails in the dark green when my brain was tired was a good challenge. Then an uphill finish to top it off! I certainly got a great workout yesterday. Thanks Tom and all!
