| Red at WCOC A-meet on Pond Mt. Had a good day. Slow, especially on anything rocky, but read the map well and had only one miss costing about 2 minutes (was left of boulder on #8; if it wasn't for my tunnel vision, I might have seen it when I went by). Foot didn't bother me. |

| Note | |
| |
| Hike up Monadnock from Gilson pond, 7 mile round trip, about 2000 feet of climb. Perfect fall day; Boston skyscrapers visible from the top. Second most climbed mountain in the world, they say, after Mt. Fuji. Seemed like no. 1 today. |

| |
| NEOC club champs at Diamond Hill, RI. Very poor showing. Short, fast red course, with lots of trails and walls, so I tried to go faster, and (once again) screwed up big time (lost 12 minutes on 3, 7 minutes on 10). Hope springs eternal. On the positve side: felt good physically. |

| Hudson Highlander! Thanks to cool weather and Gatorade, did about as well as could be expected. Mix of following (on five or six controls, with minimal map contact), navigating with others around, and, for about 8k, entirely on my own (including all of the third loop, except where I passed Tim G., and Doug G. and brother?). I started cramping already in second loop - first toes, then right hamstring - so I didn't exert myself much on third and fourth loops: slow jog on (level or downhill) trails, walk otherwise. 20-25 minutes of mistakes, the worst when others were around and I allowed myself to be careless. |
