Event: EMPO - local (Nat'l Orienteering Day)
 

Hanging control flags for EMPO local event at Five Rivers (interestingly, there are no rivers on the map, just one good sized stream). Mostly walked except for a moderate jog of about 1km back to the car after finishing hanging the first set of controls. Woods were still wet from rain yesterday and overnight but weather cleared up quite nicely for the event (mostly sunny and about 70). Saw a deer, a garter snake and a few turkeys plus numerous other birds including a kingfisher. Had lots of help picking up controls so only had to get the "GO" control, which was about 100 meters from the finish.

C • Five Rivers 1

At Hand Hollow Preserve. Parked at Co. Rt. 9 end and ran up and back the trails on the west side plus an extra time around the loop at the bottom. No wildlife sightings - heard some birds but didn't see them. Upper 60's and overcast - nice for running.

Road intervals. 4 x 600m + 2 x 200m with 2:00 recovery (1:00 between the 200's). Splits: 2:27, 2:30, 2:29, 2:35, 0:45, 0:43. Target was 2:30 for the 600's. Faded a bit on the last one, especially with the last 50m uphill. 70 but a bit muggy. 66N and back.
