Looong drive with Rick to Holmes Presbyterian Camp in NY. Very nice weather. Not sunny when I started around 12:45pm. Sun came out midway through the course.
The terrain was hilly with lots of rocks. It was 1:5000 map and I didn't notice this at the beginning. Overshot 2nd control and it took 3 to 4 mins to find it. Bumped in to 3rd Control way too soon. At that point, I was wondering if I am running faster than usual. That can't be right !!! So checked the scale on the map. When I saw 1:5000, it all made sense.
Couple of long legs were there with lot of climb (at least it felt like a lot in my present condition). Didn't have major problems but 1 or 2 mins here and there.
Was definitely slow. All up hill was slow walk and the rest jog, walk, jog, walk...
This map is supposed to be a preview of Harriman Park (West Point). Heard that it has more rocks (some very big ones) and steeper.
