Orienteering race 38:24 *** 4.93 km (7:48 / km) +20m 7:38 / km
ahr:138 max:157 spiked:21/21c shoes: Blue VJ Falcons - 10
Brown/Advanced course at Tamanend Park. 4.1k, 60m climb. Excellent map and courses by Sam Kolins. This is a small Town(?) park with a significant trail network and open areas with woods of all shades of green. The course was rather sprint-like, but offered some challenging route choice decisions, especially at racing speed. Map was at 1:4000, 2m contours and mapped to Sprint map standards.
I had a good run. AP has me with about 2 minutes of errors, mostly route choice or execution errors on the legs, spread pretty evenly over 4 controls. No problems actually finding any of the controls since visibility was good with no leaves on the vegetation.
Weather was OK for running but less OK for volunteers standing around - low 40s, overcast, wet from earlier rain but no rain while I ran.
Thanks to Sam and Lena and the rest of those who volunteered to help for another fine production.

Short Sprint at Tamanend.. 2.2km, 25m climb. Same terrain as the other course but designed such that all routes could be on trails or across open land. Another fun course.
Legs were quite heavy when I started (about 15 min after finishing the other course). One major mistake on the 50m leg to #5 when I came out of 4 off line from where I needed to be. Only actually cost me about 30 seconds. Otherwise had reasonable route choices and hit the controls OK.

Sunny and upper 50s in mid-December so squeezed in another bike ride. Trails at Green Lane, mostly exploring the area along Knight Road nearest Rt. 29. Still learning the trails in this area - a bit hillier than the other two areas along Knight Road. Rode out and back along the reservoir on the Honeysuckle Trail.
