Waking up controls, hanging another 8 on higher trails to make it interesting.
Found a huge pile of poop right next to control 3, closest to the house on the other side of the driveway. Neighborhood bear wandering thru the course?

Ran the same course as Friday, plus the new ones at the end. Two of the existing ones were now dead and didn't wake up despite prodding with the magnet. Batteries kaput on those.

O-course Training (Burnt Mountain) 1:12:47 [3] 4.98 km (14:37 / km) +165m 12:32 / km
Did a rerun of Brown X from last weekend. Took it easy as moss and rocks were wet and slippery. Stopped and tied flagging at all the control locations.
Still not happy going to 5. Let myself get forced L after crossing the old road bed to stay below the higher rock areas. Was traveling faster than expected and hit the trail beyond the control. Had to cut back and up to get it, wasted 6 min.
Next time will run the course backwards and work on some specific legs like 5.

O-course Training race (Kingdom Valley) 14:46 [4] 1.78 km (8:18 / km) +32m 7:37 / km
Sprint on lower ski trails with Greg and Carol. Used control boxes and SI-phone software. Good time, but then again I set the course.
O-course Training race 16:13 [4] 1.56 km (10:24 / km) +48m 9:01 / km
Ran the course backwards trying some different routes. Think the first run had faster choices, except for my mistake to 12 on the first run. A little tired this time.

Trail Running (Presi Travers) 12:53:33 [3] 18.5 mi (41:49 / mi) +2571m 29:13 / mi
Great hike with Greg from Randolph to Crawford Notch. Left Appalachia at 6:45 with early light on Valley Way to Watson Path -- probably a mistake as Watson Path is a jumble of big rocks cutting up to Madison. Then to Adams, Jefferson, around Clay (didn't make President) and on up Washington. A couple of hot dogs and soup at the top, then to Lakes and Mt Monroe. Trail was getting better, but nothing to really run. Skipped past Franklin, then Eisenhower (Mt Pleasant on my map) and Pierce (was Clinton, no Trump either). Dusk at this point and feeble headlamp down Crawford Path to trailhead.
Long, but fun day with steady movement and no real strain, couldn't run as trail is just not for that, and is mostly continuous rock hopping.
