Event: NEOC: Needham Town Forest
 

Green course at Needham. I think I've orienteered on this map before, and hated the map after running it the first time. I found the contours extremely hard to discern, and the rock features almost invisible on the map. Also, never really got into the map scale of 1:7500. Good energy, but poor directional sense.

Green - Splits

1 hr of yard work hauling brush, cutting, sawing, etc. Maybe I'm half done with the hauling and chopping of light stuff. The work requiring ladders or chainsaws is unaccounted for. (I will not be using a chainsaw on a ladder.)

ARRT 5.5M run w/ R. Lots of storm damage lying across the trail on the section we ran. Some trees were completely uprooted, some lost major limbs.

Got some antibiotics for the cough/throat. Could be sinus, could be bronchial. Might not even be bacterial, in which case antibiotics will only have a placebo effect.

Lots of downed trees, too bad I have no time to run. Our regular running routes go through some devastated sections.
