spiked:19/22c shoes: VJ Falcons 3 (yellow)
NEOC local event - Score-O at Mt. Norwottuck. Nice course set by Phil with 32 controls varying in point value from 30 to 90 and well distributed across the map (printed at a scale of ~1:11,500, to fit on an 8.5" x 11" page). Two hour time limit. Scored 1300 out of a possible 1840.
Did a counterclockwise loop, picking up most of the controls to the south of the mountain then climbing up the east shoulder (to #91). At 91 I took a minute to analyze my options with about 42 minutes left. Chose to cross the ridge (go north) and pick up more low point controls rather than go for the higher point controls on the southern (steep) hillside. Pointwise I think I could've gotten about 10 more points on the south side if I had executed perfectly (which I didn't do the way I went). Going to the north side insured a straight in trail run when it was time to bail.
Control order: 32-33-57-62-81-92-52-63-82-74-93-56-71-73-91-53-61-51-65-55-34-31.
Should have done 42 between 33 and 57 as it only added about 300m. Missed a bit on 92, 74, and 65 for a total of 6 or 7 minutes lost. Probably could have picked up 45 or 43 on the way in, but was concerned about the time.
Mostly sunny and barely 40F - OK for runners but a bit chilly for the volunteers.

A bit of a struggle to get out the door and to keep moving. Just one of those days but at least I did it. Low 50's, a bonus for late November. Shaker Museum Rd and back.
