| Green/Red course at EMPO local event at Tawasentha Park. Most controls were orange level or less, about the best you can do here. Clean run except for some hesitation on a short leg where things looked different than I expected. Ran fairly hard since I caught up to a guy who is fairly new to orienteering but is a faster runner than me and we flip-flopped for several controls. Quite hot (80's) and humid. Forerunner measured 5.04km.
Helped pick up controls afterwards (time not logged). Especially fun was the water control with all of the crushed poison ivy plants around it. |

| Trail Run 48:55 [3]4.08 mi (11:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: NB 809 |
| South from Olivia's Overlook down the ridge of West Stockbridge Mountain. Went as far as an overlook above the toll barrier on the Mass Pike. Trail was a bit gnarlier than I had expected - lots of rock and roots, some steep ups and downs (even though it's along the top of the ridge), and hard to follow in places due to light usage and multiple paths. Good terrain running training.
The weather also contributed to the gnarliness. It had rained earlier in the day so the rocks were wet and slippery and with the dew point not much below the air temperature (upper 60's), there was no chance of much drying happening. O-shoes would've been appropriate. Slipped a few times but managed to not actually fall.
AOWN: Saw about a half dozen efts on the trail. Good thing they're bright orange. |
