Cross-country this week took the stage as the mere three of
us in the 23 mph 18 degree F. weather on the ice-bound Deer Island in Boston
Harbor ran a test on the proposed course over the frozen ground. Art Gray, designer of the course won in
30:12 with Tom Derderian following in 30:15. Cynthia Hastings ran 31:30. The
course is very hilly with spectacular views of the harbor and should be
pleasant in the gentler seasons.
We will be there next week at 10 am for all or any comers at
the parking lot. No entry fee. No amenities. Free antarctic simulation
experience. Back to the flat, 2.65 mile perimeter road next week unless a vote
changes it.
See you,
Tom, Cynthia, Art
