Event: GAOC Local Meet :: Joe Kurz WMA
 

Straight line distance was 6.6km. But added length to run around some nasty areas, and searching for controls.

This turned out to be a much nicer park to run than I expected. Last year we were on the west side and it was absolutely miserable with briars everywhere. The woods this year was very open and runnable. There was one leg through a newly clearcut area that was fun to run through. Only occasional patches of greenbriar, which while no fun were at least reasonable.

I totally screwed control #3. Used a bend in a trail as an attack point but apparently I was too far around the bend and ended up way high of the control. Twice :-(

Control #8 I still think was not on the correct boulder, others had no trouble with it. It very much depended on which direction you came in from. From the south you passed the control on the way in, so those runners were happy. From the east you were just SOL as the control was further west and south than shown on the map. Oh well... it was a fun run otherwise.

Red - Splits

Walking at West Palisades with Guy and Duffy.

Kind of a rest day, yesterday was a bigger effort than I thought (or more precisely a bigger effort than I wish that amount of running was). Lots of errands in the morning. Three hours of yard work in the afternoon.

Don Carter State Park. Recon for course setting. Map is in really good shape.

Don Carter State Park, ran much of the draft Green course. Beautiful day, sunny and really a bit too warm, ~65F.

Spent the day drafting courses for Don Carter meet
