New England Trail Championship at Mount Toby - 30km

Cool temperatures (40's & 50's).  Lots of rain preceding event, trails were wet and muddy.

Much of the route appeared to be in "creek-beds".

All in all, a difficult but excellent course - finished in 23rd place / 2:57:11.

Trail Run w/Dusty on the Metacomet, Phelps north with a trip to the "Suffield Spencer Oak".

(This would be the only time I viewed the old tree).

Explored Enders State Forest afterward, unbelievable number of impressive waterfalls!

Pop wins his division for the short-course event!
