| The first, "short" day of the NEOC Spring Rock Festival. I ran the whole course with no company. Felt fine. Navigated OK.
The map was somewhat of a challenge; one of those not-so-great pieces that nevertheless have a structure to them, so that after a while, one can adapt to the style with some success. The contours were, in a word, weak, and as PG noted, the vegetation mapping indicated more the color of the foliage than the runnability. I identified very few point featuresthey were mapped remarkably well, but it was time-consuming and unnecessary to work with them; my best friends were stone walls. There were noticeable distortions, so that, for example, my straight route from #12 to #13, when drawn, came out curvy. The course was sort of OK. It was planned to be slow and to demand constant concentration. I guess it is a fair challenge, just not a commonly desired one. Control placement was obvious, thank *. If it wasn't, this could have been another FLL-type experience for all. Climb is straight from the Polar, no adjustments; length from an OCAD trace. | ||

| Passed up on a planned morning run from work to SJC, with packthe pack was too heavy. Flew to BDL, where I met Mark Pittman with whom I shared a rental car. We drove to Camp Woodstock, accommodations for the A event of the weekend.
I finally got out for a run around 10 pm, on the roads we drove to the camp. Some stragglers were still coming to check in... "ghost of a lost orienteer" is how Bernie described the sighting of me. I beat his car into the camp on my return run... route choice. Climb is USGS; Polar said 165 m. | ||

| Note | |
| Got to work very late today, and stayed overnight. The reason I was late was that someone chose Caltrain over the bridge. As I got off in Mountain View, the biohazard squad was still scrubbing off the guy's parts from nooks in the platform spread over an area well over 100 m away from the initial impact. | ||
