Concerning the course, it was a great day for lots of running in the woods. It was sunny and hot enough that I should have used BodyGlide, ouch. I knew I would be out that long. A number of controls were not at features but in the middle of nowhere accompanied by some Halloween related material. Those legs were a good challenge. The course had been set when all marshes were dry. We had fun at two controls which were set in the centre of ponds surrounded by water.
Concerning the knee, swimming the day before was probably not a good idea. In the O event, I only had a brief pain-free window around the one-hour mark. The constant pain may be a psychosomatic plant from the doctor on Friday.
