Good bookends around a flawed route choice and an overshoot. I didn't want to cut around the green again via the road on leg 5, so I did trail and some cross-country. It didn't even seem like a great idea at the time but I couldn't bear doing the road a third time. Probably a bit harder course than the green.

I think this was Jim Benton's first go at setting; he made nice use of the park and there were some thought provoking legs so kudos.
This was a tired attempt at a run and mistakes happened. Several were not switching to yellow light (or not thinking at that state and carefully surveying the forest). One was a drift in the green and the finish leg was poorly executed. Within all of this, I felt good about big segments of the race. It will be nice to get at least one run in sometime soon with no bugaboos. I should save any luck for the Pig.
