 time laid 12;40 time run 1:45  WIND 6 MPH temperture 51  humidity 45 weather sunny felt  good 3 things done well  after we had set the track a large group of kids with some parents moved from the kindergarden area to the line after our first turn  playing and running remote cars . i didn't know if we would be able to track or to start my track in the middle . After a hour they left us just enough room to go thru..as we started i had to tell Zane nose down a few times which he did . 1] make a great turn at the turn into the group  2] had nose down concentrating on tracking as he went by the group  3] when laying the track came upon a small creek  I  Couldn't jump it and had to make a tight turn he picked right up on it . improve on  as always double lines and map making  goal for next tracks , if the ice melts I would like to cross creeks
