Note
Most of those "open" areas mapped by KP are actually filled with waist-high ferns.
Some of the green mapped in 93 seems to be accurate still. I believe that is mostly mountain laurel. But the new green mapped by KP is primarily young pines and spruce. There are also areas of 2.5m tall bushes that I couldn't identify.

Apparently he likes mapping stuff on Open Street Map. So he's interested in giving orienteering a shot.

Should have printed an extra map.

And then the burned area near 7 has turned into amazingly crappy forest. Once I had to start crawling under vegetation I lost all my body heat and it just went to hell from there. So I called it and ran back to the car. Without a support crew, I have to be much more careful about keeping myself together.
Frustrating for things not to come together today, but that's how stuff goes sometimes. I'm not finished.

But it's also feeling quite weird. A big event with no other orienteers.
Plenty of self-doubt and negative self talk have been coming into my head over the past few days. In the past, I've tried to drive that talk out with positive statements and images. I recently had a good talk with Aaron on one of our hill rep days. We should treat those negative thoughts as you would a distraction or errant thought while meditating: let it surface, run its course, and then subside. After that you can replace it with the positive stuff.
I am physically ready for a WOC long tomorrow. I've planned everything out in terms of fuel and timing. The only thing left is for my mind to be in the right space. Going to talk some final minutes for that tonight and then we're ready to roll tomorrow.
I will have a live track of it starting at noon EDT. It'll just be a link to my real-time location in Google maps and a link to an image of the course. I haven't been able to figure out anything else to make it cooler.
Also, it looks like it's going to be raining all day. Perfect conditions ; )

Final tune-up course before WOC on the most Harriman like terrain around here. The woods are amazing this time of year.

Most of the woods were like this today. Our world is a really special place.
