Event: Hudson Highlander XVII
 

Hudson Highlander. Nice weather, good course, some atrocious orienteering. Course included an epic 4.5k first leg. All the orienteering sections were on Silvermine. Trail run was across the Palisades Parkway, starting at Anthony Wayne Rec Area and ending through an underpass under the Parkway to bring us back to Silvermine. Added a bonus ~3k to the trail run by missing a turn and then taking way too long to realize that not seeing streamers probably meant something. Arrgh. Stopped short on several controls on the second map, not adjusting to 1:15000 scale. Lost 10+ minutes on #2 and a few minutes on each of 4, 7, 8. Also lost a bit of time on 21, which may have cost me a place. I'm not sure we followed the best route on the long leg, but I was in a pack with some pretty competent orienteers, so was trusting them. Probably 26k straight line. Might count the climb later. Body survived but I'll be moving a little slower than usual for the next few days.

Runnin' around the neighborhood. Bright sun, dry and upper 60's - very nice.
