Middle distance green course at VIctor Constance Ski Slope.
Most of my run was fine, but slow. But, I also made a big mistake on the 5th control. I got a bit confused by the rocky hillside and cliffs and climbed a bit extra. I also started out a bit unsure. The extra distance wasn't much, but it was all steep and rocky and slow going.
It is hard to run on rocky ground when you're not used to it. Also, my feet got a bit beat up by the rocks.

Campus sprint at West Point.
I ran ok, missed one route choice when I had trouble seeing whether I could get through an area and ran around. It turned out I could have gone through.
The race was fun. That said, it wasn't the sort of course I really like. You had to read the descriptions carefully to avoid getting caught by some sort of trick/trap. In a few places the map could have used some tweaks to make it more readable. But, it was a lot of fun and I managed to avoid most of the tricks/traps.
I had one half fall. I was running and kind of ran into a low wall. I smacked my shin and fell down. At the finish I checked with the first aid crew. They cleaned the cut, wrapped my shin tightly and gave me some ice. My lower leg was uncomfortable the rest of the evening, but the tight wrap seemed to help and I was ok for running Sunday.
Running on the campus made me day dream about an urban event at Fort Leavenworth.
