Training with Leif at Mt. Norwottuck, ran the Red course from day 1 at the Troll Cup two years ago. I started a few minutes ahead and hung streamers, he picked them up. I figured he would catch me, but I had the serious advantage of having run the course before (
map). Was about 7 minutes slower this time, but vegetation was still up and everything was soaking wet and very slippery. And I had not much energy it seemed, certainly walked alot. Pretty much the same routes as 2 years ago, no mistake at 4, but missed 10, one reentrant too far east.
Very nice having company, never would have gotten out otherwise!
