Event: WCOC Five Ponds meet
 

Trail Run at Hand Hollow Preserve. On trails, logging roads and some through the woods. Lots of water on the trails and some occasional mud. Poured rain most of the day but it had tapered off some by the time I ran (4pm). The sun actually came out for a few minutes near the end of the run - the only sun the whole weekend.
Almost went to the Five Ponds event but wimped out when I saw 40s and pouring rain - gotta stay healthy for next weekend.

Event: Silvermine Sprint and Local Meet
 

Lugging water out for the A-meet. Also streamered the Day 1 white and yellow courses. Low 40's and rain. Cold, but sitll a great day to be in the woods (based on the belief that any day in the woods is better than a day not in the woods). One week to go and things appear to be mostly under control.
Thought about the irony of competitive orienteering: We orienteer because we like to be in the woods but when we race, we try to get out of the woods as quickly as possible.

Rt 32 west and back. Ran a bit faster than intended.
