Course marshal at Southern Nipmuck Trail Race. Gorgeous day, wish I were running, but good to see & support a lot of friends - at least twice...

Just leaving this here for future reference.

Event: WCOC Hurd State Park
 

Nice day for a jaunt at Hurd. Although I hit all the controls cleanly, some of my route choices may have been a bit specious. Taking chances with green where avoidance would have been preferable, also some wandering off the line to minimize deep fern and barberry patches, neither of which impact visibility, but certainly aren't easy to run through due to obscured obstacles underfoot.

Still no watch band, so started GPS, then stowed watch in fanny pack before punching start and the reverse procedure at the end, so likely 30-60 seconds longer than my official time. Also toward end of course (11ish?) a branch caught the cord on my shorts, so kept hiking up loose shorts over the last few controls - too stubborn to just stop and retie - doh!

RED - Splits

Might as well get back to it. A short jaunt after dinner in the encroaching darkness. A few quicker bits on the way back. Felt pretty good, even though significantly out of shape.

A couple hours at work to send some large specimens up to Wellesley for the Global Flora project.



Then back to Granby. Most of the usable stuff has been given away over the past 5 days, good to see it find new homes. Whatever is left at end of the day goes in the dumpster.

Pleasant hour on the rail trail before fetching Hayden from school (last day classes) and then heading to Granby for a final tossing..

More house cleaning in Granby, then Hayden FFA Banquet - no hills tonight.

Another long day at the house (after a commute to Granby via Mystic to drop Anna at field school since her ride had car troubles). I'm wiped... but at least the house is mostly empty now.
