Signed up for the Buffalo Ellicottville Adventure Run on Aug 26; between a 3-hr and a 6-hr race, I would have preferred a 3-hr. However, the price was the same, and far more competitors were running the 6-hr, so I am, too. Hopefully, it will also afford me a chance to chat with the Buffalo orienteering folks. Competitive goal is to clear the course in under the time limit because I do not fear death.

And a bit of nostalgia: my first visit to Noon Hill was on 2015 April 25. I directed the inaugural event on a brand new, professionally map with LIDAR basemap the following year, in October 2016. Getting maps made and national meets run is probably the achievement I'm most proud of during my time in NEOC. The national meets could have been better, and I could have been better organized, more effective, and less stubbornly stupid, but stuff got done.
