As I came in toward the finish, I noticed a small critter run out of the bushes, running away ahead of me. This was sometime between civil and astronomical twilight, so it was getting pretty dark and my first thought was "rabbit". But as I got closer, it began to dawn on me that "It's not running like a rabbit"... and "it's black"... and "its got a white stripe" and "uh oh., its raising its tail".
At that point, I slammed on the brakes, and Mr. Skunk kept on running away, so all's well that ended well, but it was probably at least a couple seconds before I had the presence of mind to hit "stop" on my watch...
