Red Course at Beaver Brook (UNO). Very hot and humid. I ran first and watched Anna second. Was doing very well, through all the technical parts of the map. Then, at pt. 14, I noticed that the area was unusually blank, but it didn't register that I was leaving the park going into an area that wasn't field-checked. I messed up the attackpoint leaving the trail, started seeing unmapped boulders and areas of green. Got within 30m of the control, but didn't go over and investigate because it was too green. Went up to a field corner to relocate, but it was the wrong field. Finally back at the trail, noticed the park boundary on the map, re-attacked, using only the contours and went right to it. Heart rate was very high for this race...maybe the heat.

Trail run with Brendan at Middlesex Fells, starting from Stone Zoo. Took us a bit to get over to the main area, and we stuck to the more-hilly white blazed trail whenever possible. Felt that we kept a pretty good pace for a long run. Brendan is really strong on the hills right now (uphill I had to push to keep with him, and he always opened a downhill gap).

3 x Danehy Loop (~1400m) with stroller.
