2023 Unsupported "Non" Trail Race Unofficial Challenge #13

Granville Reservoir 10KM (6.2-Miler)

I thought I had until 2:00 p.m. until the rain hit, but I was wrong by thirty or so minutes and I got totally swamped.

The run itself went really well, I tried hard and managed 5 mph over the 6.2-miles.

It was a another opportunity to "field-check" all the trails I have cataloged and mapped in the Granville Reservoir Section around Drake Mountain.

Using my "Naming Conventions" I've used on my map I covered the following today:

• Turtle Effigy Trail (again)
• Little Perched Rock Cut Thru Trail
• Granville Reservoir Trail
• Winchell Road
• Winchell Reservoir Road

Completed 6.2-Miles in 1:14:10.

On this day in 2007, Tippi and I finished the Notchview Marathon.  We ran from Notchview Reservation in Windsor, Massachusetts into Dubuque State Forest in Hawley, then to Savoy Mountain State Forest in Savoy.  We got crushed by a heavy rainstorm for the last 3-miles.

This was my 37th completed marathon, and Tippi's 11th.  All in all, I was not in fantastic shape but the year was winding down, and the run was incredibly enjoyable.  Missing a turn shortly after Windsor Jambs, continuing on the dirt road for a bit, didn't count as a positive.

Looking at the map, we passed Windsor Pond, Crooked Neck Pond, and Hallockville Pond along the journey.

Alert, as always.
