Red course at Yellowwood (time estimated). Very nice day to be out, and conditions on the ground were really not as bad as expected. A fair run with a route choice error to 7 and a bad mistake at 13, otherwise relatively clean, albeit slow, especially on hills (and recovering from hills). The mass start was fun, and as expected, meant that I would have a head-to-head with Mike, who ended up besting me. Good map, good terrain, well-placed controls, and near-perfect weather. Definitely the right choice to attend this one.
Trudge through Hueston Woods, with a 20-minute interlude to search for a reportedly stray/abandoned puppy near the dog park. Found some of his tracks, but couldn't find him. Too bad.
