Swept the JV races. Second for boys, first for girls. An awful lot of strong performances. The best we've ever raced at this meet, I'd say. the course is never fast, but the increasingly wet and slippery surfaces, along with the late leaf fall this year which covered rocks and stones all made for a treacherous course and a grueling race. Lucky for us, we thrive in those conditions.

I chose moderately successful tangents through the woods for all four races. Crossed a good number of ravines, cleared a number of creeks, climbed many thicket covered hillsides, startled numerous deer and sent them bounding ahead of me, stabbed my body with thorns of various types, attempted to cross an abandoned bridge only to find the floorboards wrecked near the end, and caught only two leaves on the day, both during the warm up jog. The miles were tough, but the distance is just the usual conservative guess.
