The canal path without Stina. A nice night for a ski for most of the night. It turned bad on the return from Pittsford. The pole eating monster emerged and bit the tip of my left pole off. I was able to finish without much problem, but thing got very close to seriously bad crossing edgewood Ave. I stopped and waited to cross and so did the guy on a bike on the other side of the road. One car passed and the next one stopped. All looked good so me and the bike guy started to cross. Apparently the guy in the car never saw me because he started to accelerate when I was in front of the car. I shouted, did not swear, and fortunately he stopped. Leason learned wait wait wait when crossing that road

Hike Mendon, rugby field to North meadow. Nice night.

The canal path with Stina. 3x 5min dp, 5x dp rei hill, 3x no pole upper 1/2 rei hill. Threw in some down hill turning. The best part was stina finding my Garmin.

Cnyo turkey-o 90 minute score-o. Finally a day without a dumb mistake and a good finish 3rd out of 18. It started off a bit shaky as I forgot my glasses, but luckily had some contact lenses in my compass bag. My plan was to get all the 60 point controls, by going east then south. At the start I had some doubts about that plan as it seemed everyone went west and I was by myself going east. My legs held up well, with no navigational mistakes. My only real mistake was to finish with 50,54,39,56, finish and 19 seconds late and 10 point penalty. Should have done 50,52,54,39,finish. Not a big deal as the point total is the same but I think I would have got back on time with the alternative route, and maybe finished before the guy that finish 1 place in front of me. Found my Garmin it says I was not over time
