Finally, an inspired run on this route. Not particularly fast, but hilly so it usually takes longer. A day of tilling the garden (after rebuilding the carb), cutting up trees and shoving some dirt around. Just felt ready for a short, quick run. Left Casey at home as it was warm (65F) and sunny, and besides, it's her birthday!
Control pickup. Back to the knolls and still had trouble spotting them.

UNO meet in Peterborough Two 1.9 km loops. First lap went well in 26 min, off a little on #2 and relocated off #12.
Then on lap two had trouble finding a modest knoll for #13, and picking out the right rocks along the broken cliffs for #15. Thrashed through unmapped med green to #17 with Jim Arsenault. Finally really blew the leg to #19, picking up the wrong trail and making a huge parallel error into somebody's backyard to the W. That alone was good for 10 min. So second loop took just about double the first. A bit tired, and just lost focus on the map.
