| Red course at WCOC local event at Macedonia Brook. OK run except for one 5 - 6 minute error where I stopped one wall short and spent way too much time looking before I accepted that I wasn't in the right place. A few smaller errors for 8 - 9 minutes total. Low to mid 60 minutes was quite doable. Plenty of barberry - quite visible with new, bright green leaves. Fun course by Peter Goodwin with lots of controls. See comments in split list. Temps in the 50's to start, then warming up a bit as the sun came out after I finished. Forerunner measured 8.08km. |

| Red course at HVO local event on Rockhouse Mountain Map. Lots of rock and mountain laurel but map is excellent even though it's 15 years old (and it's at 1:15000). 4 - 5 minutes of errors spread among several controls. Nice course set by Bernie Breton. Upper 60's, partly cloudy with some breeze. Forerunner measured 10.32km. |

| Hill Intervals at Hand Hollow Conservation Area (in the eastern part). Did 6 x 400m uphill hard with 300m downhill recovery. 210m of climb (9%). Splits: 236, 248, 241, 227, 222, 202. Steeper part of the hill is near the bottom (first three splits). Climbs for each interval: 54, 48, 48, 30, 24, 12 meters. A tad intense. Recovery periods averaged about 205. Very nice day - 70, sunny and low humidity.
AOWN: A Heron sitting on the nest at the rookery near where I parked. Several pairs of Canada geese in the field (nesting? - that'll be a lot of goslings in a month or two). |
