Brown long at Mountain Lakes Park in N. Salem, NY. Overcast with temps in the low 60s; SL 4.1 km, 155m climb
Pretty clean run, with just a bit of fine tuning of entry into controls 9 and 11 (where I took a wider line than necessary but was sure of where I was). Happy with my time. Janet F, who started 4 minutes back, had made up that time on the long leg from 9-10, almost catching up as we left the road just past the saddle, and getting past me at 11, then outrunning me (and Peter Goodwin who was also at 11) from there to the finish, increasing the gap by another minute.
9th overall on the course, and 2nd F65.
Great job by HVO and especially DVOA volunteers who stepped up to do just about everything except course design. Thanks to Greg Balter who had supported the idea of this meet to be Team Trials for the WOC team.
