shoes: Brooks Cascadia
Mt. Tom NEOC A meet, again, after 30 yrs! Good run except for 2 controls. Had alot of energy, temp was perfect. Alot of trouble w/ #9, Lex B & Guy Olsen in same area, lost around 5'; actually was giving up & heading toward next when I came upon it. On 7, lost some 90" when I just followed 2 runners across the basin to the east & then they seemed confused. I was on a knoll I failed to note on map, got confused myself & went most of way bk to path jct fm which I'd come before sorting things out. Many lovely vistas, leafy carpets, yellow mantles. Wx was ovrcst, threatening sprinkles...a SE gale on the coast for the eve.
Surprised I was in third, expected at least a mid-50's time for myself so was feeling out of competition. Kris Hall on Y at 4.9 was some 67'. Carl Child, Jeff S just ahead, Glen T maybe 64', Tim P 71 I think.
Drove out alone, noted 90 mi to Rt 90, 140 to Mt Tom. After run, wandered north on Rt 5 to 9E fm Northampton. Tried one motel ("cheapest rate") for $140 & Comfort Inn was anything but comfortable at $155. Came into Amherst (as Sat pm football was ending) for coffee shop just opp the library & eventually came in here. Old Amherst/Leverett memories fm early '90's. Bk toward Chicopee on 116 for something affordable. Quite a contrast to last Sat night...dare say I'll sleep better.
