Am I a little extra for besting last week’s time by less than 60 seconds and submitting it anyway? Yes, lol. I worked for those few extra seconds! I went clockwise instead of counter this time. Still unsure on which way feels faster. There are a few pretty slow miles with lots of blowdowns and bushwhacking right now. Nothing too heinous but it does slow down what would be a much faster route. 
With about 2-3 miles to go I had a pretty scary encounter with some sheep and really aggressive sheepdogs. I was thankfully able to get away before the sheepdogs got too close but it was definitely scary. There were hundreds of sheep out there!
