Day 2 of West Point A-meet. Even with about 12 min of errors, managed to be fastest M50 and about 6th fastest overall on Green X. Fastest time was 63min. 50's and mostly sunny. Typical West Point stuff, though less steep stuff than yesterday. NIce course, including about 120m across Lake Stillwell on a pontoon bridge.

Event: West Point A meet
 

West Point A-meet - Day 1. On the "Long Pond Mountain" map. Typical West Point stuff - lots of rock (more than actually mapped) and plenty of climb (haven't counted it yet, but I'm sure I did more than "optimum"). No big errors but probably 7 - 8 minutes of smaller ones. A rain shower about 20 minutes before I started but dry during the race. Temp in the 60's. Second overall on Green X by 39 seconds. One second ahead of George W. :-)

US Team Fundraiser Sprint - set by Peter Gagarin. Ran a bit harder than intended. Several small errors.

Trails at Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Warmest day so far this year, with temps in the 70's. The park is a great place for running (and is popular with the local mountain bikers). It's owned/maintained by the Town of Lenox but is relatively undeveloped (one official parking lot, no other facilities, but access from a couple of other places including the parking lot of a local bike and outdoor equipment shop). I estimate about 10 miles of trails and even though I've run here 15 - 20 times, I still need to pay attention to be sure I know the way back to the car. It's about 25 miles from my house, but only a small detour on the way home from work, and especially good for runs on hot days like today since it's all wooded. The place would make a nice local o-map since the woods are open and there are numerous rock features and plenty of hills. Unfortunately, it's pretty far from any significant orienteering population.

N on Rt. 66 to Pitt Rd and back. First real run in about a week except for the occasional run/jog while hanging or retrieving bags at the A-meet. It had showered earlier, so I wore raingear, but didn't need it.
