Browsed local turkey trots to find the softest. This was won in like 21:11 last year, with top three plus a bit. Just enough room for me!
BUT this year the turnout was much higher, plus I'm not any slimmer than 2014 - a rough combo. Several runner-y looking folks....this was not going to work.
I had no speed. I probably could have continued this shuffle for two more miles, but just nothing to get up on a proper 5k boil. Winning time was in the 18s, so I ended up like 12th? of ~150?

It seems I skipped one...no big deal, just have to mention it to the vetter. Easy enough spot, must have lost track in the hustle to get it wrapped up.
Nice morning to be out. Had to tweak some for fun-ness improvements. The green is still green in places. Feet a bit cold after all the snow melting on them. My other problem was that the swamps at Maybury are often not super strong, and in these conditions, their lack of definition made me use other spots that were more concrete.
Two trail corrections for fairness, I think. I walked them, just have to sketch them on.
Nice meeting with the park supervisor. I can have a fire in the shelter, and they'll leave the lights on for us. Also, if we do a spring event before 4/1, we don't have to worry about the stables since they won't be open, giving more flexibility in course design.
