Susquehanna Stumble at Rocky Ridge County Park near York, PA. Did the Short version, 6.5k, 180m. Long version had the same course as the Short, then picked up a new map for another loop (5.3k) - we all mass started together. Two windows with three controls each (do in any order). Map printed at 1:10,000 but print quality was a bit fuzzy. An abnormally warm day for November with temperatures about 70F. Rain showers earlier in the day but not during the race.
My race went well, helped by the fact that there were others approaching or leaving most of the controls. Was reading the map enough on the run to usually keep track of where I was, so only a few small misses which I recovered from quickly. Flip-flopped with Tom Nolan from about control 7 on but had no chance of staying with him on the 450m uphill (mostly trail run) from the last control to the finish. Ended up 3rd overall for the Short Stumble.
Thanks to Brad and Julie and the rest of the SVO crew for a fine event.
