| Village Tr., Old Bartlett Rd, around Cranmore base, and return. Lovely evening. Felt good to push uphill coming back. First time I've felt I was running efficiently since the heart thing. Pulse still irregular. |

| Nice two-hour run in Powder Mill Park, Rochester, from Uncle Win's house. Rain mostly held off. Didn't find enough trails so partly (too much) on roads. I suppose there is an O map of this, but not a great area for advanced O. Distance estimated. |

| Wine O farsta. Much more consistent than the previous two days. Just minor route choice and location issues in various places. First in class again but only 30 s ahead of Alex. |

| A bit of trouble overrunning #1, a major brain loss at #7 cost me 10+ minutes and almost the win. Should never bail out to relocate when at least two other good oreinteers (Alex and Pippa) are looking for the same control. Initial problem was reversing a form line (north of marsh, downhill ticks were nearly invisible, Pippa used her magnifier to see them), and then doing the same thing with the form line reentrant at the control. Then bailed to useless marsh, flailed again, and bailed again to trail. Just awful. Lost another few minutes on #9. I gave my competition every chance to win, but Alex punched out of order and Reiner made lots of little errors. Won by 71 s. |
