Event: EMPO - Colonie Mohawk River Park
 

Green course at EMPO local event at Colonie Town Park. Substantial new terrain added to the map consisting of all wooded area with a complex network of mountain bike trails. Woods are mostly open with some generally-well-mapped thicker vegetation. Some good terrain detail and significant underfoot rockiness. A nice addition to the area making for more advanced orienteering than the earlier map allowed.

Nice course set by Frank Boscoe with lots of short legs and making good use of the new part. Sloppy on the first two controls getting into the map, confused by the mapping in one area, misread a control description and spent time checking the wrong feature and blew a couple of route choices. Probably could've been 10 min faster. Straight line distance 5.1 km. Sunny, 60's - very nice. Good turnout.

Green - Splits

Event: WCOC Gay City State Park
 

WCOC event at Gay City - "Expert Course". Major mistake on #2 which cost about 6 minutes. Otherwise run was OK. Overshot #10 a bit - I think it was hung on a cliff near the edge of the circle. Beautiful day - mostly sunny, 60's with some breeze. Straigh line distance 5.6 km.

Expert Foot O - Splits

Ran at Fred Church's place (aka Olana). Mostly on carriage roads, which makes calling it a trail run a bit of a stretch. Did three repeats fairly hard of a section about 600m long with ~20 m of climb. It was hotter (and more humid) than I expected and I faded a bit on the third one. Cut a corner coming back down the hill, but time between the hard stuff was still about 4 min. Splits for the ups: 2:58, 3:02, 3:08. Nice day - sunny and about 80.

Been a while since I ran on roads. A fine day for it with temperature about 60F and low humidity - a bit of Fall in the air. HR bogus early in the run.
