Hiking 2:36:33 [3] 5.87 mi (26:40 / mi) +726m 19:16 / mi
shoes: Roclite 290 Black

Puzzle Mountain from the Grafton Loop trailhead. Up in an hour and 2 minutes. I was jogging the long traverses and power hiking the steep sections. I would have been under an hour but I got off trail in one place just below the ledges. At the summit I took in the views for a while. It suddenly got cloudy and dark, and I beat it down. I haven't had much luck with the weather on this climb -- back in June it snowed on top.

Howard Mountain loop. This route climbs up over Howard Mountain on an old logging road, makes a long descent down to U.S. 2, joining a rough dirt road for the last mile or so, then returns east along Rt. 2 and back up Howard Pond road, climbing about 500 feet in 1.5 miles. The initial climb is a little muddy and overgrown, but the rest of the forested part is very nice running. Route 2 has some high-speed traffic, but wide shoulders. The last mile of 8% grade is killer.

Another morning in paradise. It's been 70s during the day, 50s at night, not a cloud in the sky. The lake was flat and calm this morning, just a couple of loons and my kayak making ripples on the water.

Afternoon run from Seely Gate to Morrison's and back.

This morning I ran a new 240V 40A circuit from the breaker panel, and installed and connected an electric car charger. I couldn't find an electrician who had time do do it this summer so I did it myself.

Drove from Maryland to Maine, 10.5 hours. Arrived at the cabin in time for dinner with the parents. Afterwards, a little trip in the kayak. A lovely evening, temp. around 60.

With 6 strides at the end. Also I used a chest strap heart rate monitor. It seems to be a a little smoother than the one on the wrist.

Pretty bad GPS track this time. Garmin pushed a gps software update last night. I wonder if it's connected.

Garmin called this session "unproductive." I think it wants me to do some intervals, which is actually a good idea.

I started the Seneca Greenway from Watkins Mill, but I couldn't get moving. Tired and slow. I got to Brink Rd. but wasn't sure there was a continuation north (apparently there is).

Took off yesterday after the rogaine. I felt great today, and ran a good training pace for the first time in a month or so.

Sugarloaf Mountain rogaine. New map and course by Michael Dickey. This was a really fine summer series event. 25 controls, 6-hour time limit, in an enormous area (2 sheets of 11x17 at 1:15000). It's steep and rocky, with a lot of good woods and some areas of stiltgrass and mile-a-minute weed. I made mistakes early when I was getting my head into it, and late when I was tired. In between I went pretty well. Some trouble with a couple of the charcoal platforms, and in two areas where I shouldn't have trusted the trails. I got 22 out of 25 controls in 5.5 hours, and a real sweaty workout besides. Carried 2.5 liters of water and 4 Gu packets, and came back empty.

Seneca Greenway trail north from Route 355. I turned around at a side creek crossing about halfway (edit: halfway between Watkins Mill and Brink). Only saw one other person on the trail, a hiker in her 70s. The stream valley is pleasant and shaded, but the floor is almost completely covered with invasive Japanese stiltgrass. It was cloudy, but I saw a few butterflies in the woods, satyrs and swallowtails.

Feeling hypoglycemic in the last mile or so. Ugh.

I ran in drizzle to get in this run just before a huge rainstorm... but when I got back the storm had simply dissolved, leaving clear skies. Anyway, the drizzle was kind of pleasant at 80 degrees or so.

Back home from Maine. My knees are kind of trashed. I'm planning on working back into easy running before starting quality workouts.

Caribou Mountain in Evans Notch. With Florence, Addie, Glenn, Lincoln, Carina, and Lance. Chasing Rob and Veronica whom we met on the summit. Up Caribou trail and down Mud Brook trail (clockwise). This seems inferior to the other direction, which I've always done in the past. Mud Brook trail gets you out on the ledges early. But the Caribou side has some nice little waterfalls on the way up.

Mixed road/trail, with Addie and Glenn. Up over the saddle from Seeley Gate, down to Rt. 2, back up the HoPo road.

Rumford Whitecap with Addie, Glenn, Rob, Veronica, Carina, Lincoln, and Lance! This was both an opportunity to pick blueberries and a fine hike by itself. Up the Orange Trail and down the Yellow Trail.

The blueberries were out in enormous quantities. It turns out we started picking too low down, because they got bigger and more plentiful higher up. Our little subgroup got more than a gallon. It was clear and sunny, and there were great views all around from the top.

I had forgotten to bring a hat, and I got my head all slicked up with sunscreen, but then an abandoned hat appeared on the ground just as we got out on the ledges (a nice one, Outdoor Research with permethrin) and I wore it all day and brought it back home.

The blueberries are sweet and intense. Addie made a fine blueberry pie. We have enough for about 6 more.

ahr:77 max:136 shoes: Roclite 290 Black

Baldface Circle Trail with Addie and Glenn in pretty good time. Took the left fork going up over the ledges, around the rim of the cirque, back down the Bicknell Ridge trail, which is a lot nicer than the circle trail down in the valley. There were blueberries in fantastic profusion. Could probably have skipped lunch and just eaten blueberries. As it was we brought down a sandwich container full of berries. The day was clear and warm, with great views.

At the end of the trail Addie and Glenn jumped into the Emerald Pool. It's too cold for me.
