We had 52 participants on a wonderful warm winter day at the Lawrence Woods in Medford part of Middlesex Fells. It was about 44 degrees but there were variable winds from 10 to 25 mph. There was ice on the north side of one trail. There was mud and ice on Sprint 1 as one approached the top of the map. But for the most part the courses were in good shape. Both Sprints were 2.7K. There were a number of newcomers. There were also some adventure racers looking for some navigation training. There were no complaints about the course setting, a first for me. Jim Paschetto hung the controls and did the starts and finishes, Patrice Marie Miller did the registration, I did designed the courses, training, membership, and recruitment for meet personal, Doug Martin put the courses on the map.

Our thanks to Patrice Marie Miller for handling registration, and Jennifer Sholtis and Dmitry Drozdov for helping pick up controls.
