with Mike up Rt 69 in Woodbridge to Brooks Rd and instead of rounding West Rock making it a loop we just turned around and went the same way back. It's such a nice area!

trail run 46:48 [2] 7.82 km (5:59 / km) +99m 5:38 / km
Been going to try on wedding dresses pretty frequently now while Barbara (Mike's mom) is home from Florida, yesterday we had an appointment in Branford. She's probably the most excited one of us, although it is fun!
Went for a run in Westwoods afterwards. It's so green and beautiful now. Got a little stressed while I didn't bring a trail map (or a phone) and it was slowly getting dark. Ran pretty fast, doesn't look like it on the pace but these trails are windy + they have lots of obstacles. After doing the lovely part of the purple trail, I followed my inner compass and luckily ended up on a familiar trail leading back to Dunk Rock Road.

trail run 31:42 [2] 5.84 km (5:26 / km) +95m 5:01 / km
I was out the door before 6am, already hot & humid, at least by my measures. For those of you back home that haven't experienced humidity, it's like stepping into a fogged up bathroom after a hot shower, kind of. Just did a little jog out on the newly blazed teal trail and back on the red. Tried out my new Salomon Speedocross, Mike convinced me to get them, he swears they're one of the most comfortable pair of shoes he owns. Well I'm not so sure I like them, very cushy, my feet got hot.
This afternoon I'm headed to NYC for the Battery Park Midsummer celebration as today is Midsommarafton!

10c
Course B
Mike & I were late, so we were planning on just doing our own thing. But as we arrived everyone was still there and it was WCOC-shirt group photo time! I quickly got ready to run the first leg of the sprint-relay!
Fun short course, sprinting without a warm-up made for heavy breathing and I was very tired coming up the hill on the way back.
FR 1.832km

Course A
Mike did a good job on the 2nd leg and tagged me off shortly after Joe changed over to Pavlina. I passed her after a few controls and managed to send Mike off in the lead..
Joe caught Mike by the last control and they surprised us all by finishing from the wrong direction. The Brautigam's took the win and then Mike accidentally cleared before downloading.
FR 1.694km
The relay was followed by yet another wonderful time with delicious food and fun people generously hosted by the lovely DeWeese's!

Easy run with Mike & Jon on the trails in Old Saybrook. We tricked Jon into doing the longest run of his life =)
On the way back we heard what sounded like a pack of dogs and wolfs, barking/howling loudly.. coyotes?!

bike 3:51:45 [2] 82.55 km (2:48 / km) +734m 2:41 / km
Nice looong ride with Mike (not long enough for him). Perfect weather, some sprinkles but the roads never got wet. It's so beautiful up there! Rolling hills, my legs got tired.
Mike planned the route and he wanted to take me to Salmon River, he's talked about this place for years - they used to go there a lot when he was a kid.. but he didn't quite remember how to get there.. he thought it would be a mile or two passed East Haddam. We got to an intersection with signs for Hurd SP and thought we'd gotten too far (looking at the map afterwards we should have continued a bit further, it must be Machimoodus SP while Mike remembers Mt Tom). Anyway we got to see some cool places along Johnsonville Rd and we did find the Salmon River Boat Launch..
On the way back: Gillette Castle, the ferry across CT river and lunch at Simon's Marketplace in Chester.

Run in the north end of West Rock. Happy to see a turtle by the greenhouse on the way back, I shouted "turtle!" to it and it pulled its head in =)
Then met up with Becky in the parking lot by Lake Wintergreen, we had trouble coordinating our runs this week..

Event: NEOC: Gay City, CT
orienteering 50:38 [3] *** 5.93 km (8:32 / km) +134m 7:40 / km
11c
Brought my friend David who was visiting, we did red, I started 5min behind him. I never caught him and ended up taking about a minute longer to finish the course. He was very happy about this.
No splits to compare, while it was pin punching, a bit disappointing especially as we paid $10 each.
I like Gay City, beautiful woods, very green at the moment. Love the smell of ferns. It was warm ~25°C and I don't know if it was that or the fact that I'm not used to running on soft grounds that made me so exhausted out there.
Was slightly off on a bunch of the controls, stopped, looked up, saw it and ran to it. Biggest mistake on 3 where I started looking early and too close to the trail. Zigzagy between 9 & 10.
FR 7.568 km
