Event: Pond Mountain Local
 

Blue Course at WCOC local event at Pond Mountain. One control was circled incorrectly on the master map - spent about 15 minutes on what should have been a 5 minute leg and then went on without ever finding the boulder that the bag was actually on. Orienteered well otherwise with smallish errors on two controls and a 3 or 4 minute error on another. Forerunner measured 9.9km actual distance covered. Beautiful day - mostly sunny and almost 60F. Nice map and a nice course.

Event: EMPO - Moreau Lake State Park
 

Red course at EMPO local event at Moreau Lake SP. OK run except for a huge error on one control - a parallel error which I then compounded by waiting to relocate about 10 minutes longer than I should have. The map is a bit flaky in places and some of the controls were hung on imprecise features (e.g. "thicket" when the green blob is almost the size of the control circle). Pushed hard (level 5) for the first 9 controls but then backed off after screwing up #10. Over 10km actual distance by the Forerunner - 2.6 of which was on the leg I messed up - beeline length ~800m. Nice weather, partly sunny and 60's.

Picking up controls at Moreau. Mostly walked.

Event: US Team Trials
 

At Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Perfect weather - 60's and sunny. Trails were not as muddy as I thoght they would be. Just a few soft spots. Several unleashed dogs but they were all very well behaved.

66N, Albany Tpke. Still a bit sore from the weekend at the beginning but felt better as I got into it. ~60F and overcast.
