 | Run (trails) 46:30 [3] ** 7.5 km (6:12 / km) +160m 5:36 / km | |
| ahr:153 max:164 shoes: Falcon spikes 2007 |
| Evening trail run at Gunstock. Wearing O studs rather than trail shoes to minimize the possibility of slipping on wet leaves.
Was going to check out the small spur trail at the south end that I think cuts up to the downhill slopes, or possibly back north, but it was too dark when I got out there.
AOWN - as I was heading back, heard a rustling off to one side. Judging by the size and lack of speed, I think it was a porcupine. Couldn't see to well and I wasn't inclined to head over and pat it to confirm my suspicions. |

| shoes: Brooks |
| 5 x 100 paces sprints at Ahern on the SE bike trail loop.
Had on my Brooks - great on roads and dry trails, but pretty lousy on leaf covered trails - corners were a little bit dicey, especially those on a reverse bank. |

| Orienteering race 1:49:20 [4] *** 9 km (12:09 / km) +303m 10:24 / km | |
| spiked:14/19c shoes: Falcon spikes 2007 |
| Blue course at NEOC's Powissett Peak Halloween-O. Lot's of what I remember as traditional Massachusetts terrain and vegetation.
Visibility was variable, and the underbrush was rather thick in many spots. Wore shorts and gaiters - would have been nice to have my knees covered...
1 good blowout - #4 (5+ minutes) and some more minor bobbles (5, 10, 18).
