Topic created by browne on Sun May 8, 2011 at 5:55 pmI'd like to thank the course setter for some very interesting legs on the Brown course. Route choice and attack point on #8 were particularly challenging for me. And a very big thank you to those at the finish who offered aid and comfort for the bloody gash on my head. At first I thought of explaining it as a bear encounter, or a final face-off with Donald Trump who demanded my birth certificate before I could punch (that would have been huge. HUGE!). It was just the result of not allowing enough clearance for a large limb overhead. Anyway, thank you so much. The healing has begun.

Reply by WindWalker on Sun May 8, 2011 at 8:18 pmI too had a great time, minus the bloody gash. This was my first red and my first time messing with pace counting. I think I'm onto somthing with that, but most of you already knew that. I did alot better with finding controls today, I guess I'm actually learning some techniques. I did go slower than normal for the first few controls, per Ed and Mark's advise and that paid off. I did have to tell myself a few times to slow down.
It was cool hanging out and comparing notes waiting to go out and pick up controls too.
It was a good day and about perfect weather wise.
Thanks to all responsible, Mike

(Have you tried dealing with a three-year-old boy who doesn't like mud? Thankfully there was a conveniently downed tree a few paces further along...)
I think I've created a monster though. Every day almost Seamus asks if I'm going to "do a yellow" today. Oh, and he also wants to make sure I have my map at all times too! *laugh*
