Event: EMPO - Thacher S.P. Hop Field parking lot

11 AM

Orienteering race 1:15:49 [4] *** 7.6 km (9:59 / km) +214m 8:45 / km
spiked:17/18c shoes: VJ Falcons 5

Red course at Thacher SP. Nice course set by Gabor comprised mostly of shortish legs, so middle-like. Woods are a bit junky, so I used trails where they were an option. Good run with only one big miss on #10 when I headed down a barely mapped reentrant rather than the more prominent one with the control in it. Went the wrong way trying to correct. Lost 3-4 minutes. OK on most of the other legs except for a few where I struggled to read the details on the less-than-optimally-printed map. A fine day weatherwise, though a bit warm as the temperature was near 80F. SL distance 5.7k.

shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"

Hike at Mud Pond Preserve in Nassau, NY (next to the landfill!). Interesting little piece of woods but kind of small. Many stone walls, rock piles and boulders. Also a few remnants of cars and other metal junk. Gorgeous day, sunny and upper 60's.

Trail Run 48:28 ** 3.93 mi (12:20 / mi) +78m 11:37 / mi
ahr:123 max:148 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"

At Dyken Pond Env Ed Center, out in the Rensselaer Plateau somewhere (2.5 miles back a gravel road after turning off the only slightly more paved road). Nice set of trails, but a bit of a chore to get to. Tried to run on trails I haven't run on before and explored some of the western area south of the road (trail blazes got a bit vague at times). AOWN - spotted a fox (probably grey) galloping up the road as I crossed. Temps in the low 60's, a bit cooler than at home.

Event: Susquehanna Stumble XVI - Adams Creek

Event: EMPO NOW event - Tawasentha Town Park

11 AM

Orienteering race 1:39:35 [4] *** 9.66 km (10:18 / km) +219m 9:15 / km
spiked:12/14c shoes: VJ Falcons 5

SVO Susquehanna (Short) Stumble on Adams Creek map in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (hey, it's a river in Pennsylvania - close enough). Nice course by Sandy F. Thanks also to Brad Whitmore and Julie Keim as meet director and helper.

Mapped area has quite a bit of light and medium green (evergreens and saplings) so lots of "in-your-face" stuff. Also some pretty nice woods in places. Course had three windows of either two or three controls which could be taken in any order (My order: window 1: 33,31,32; window 2:54,56,53; window 3: 48,45). Had an OK run except for a major error on #7. From the GPS trace it looks like my bearing from the very distinct trail bend was off which caused me to hit the first line of cliffs and search below them. When I eventually continued to the second cliff line I turned the wrong way and finally relocated using control #53 which was about 400m from #7. Lost 10-12 minutes. Also a small bobble on #33 when I followed the crowd who plunged into the thicker green. Figured it out pretty quickly so less than a minute lost.

SL distance 7.7 km. Temps in the mid-70s, so warm.

Event: HVO -- Hudson Highlands Nature Museum

Orienteering race 48:00 [3] *** 4.6 km (10:26 / km)
spiked:17/20c shoes: VJ Falcons 5

Score-O at Hudson Highlands Nature Museum (HVO local event). 20 controls, 60 minute time limit. Map is 1:5000 and is about half rough open fields and half woods with varous shades of green and vertical green. At this time of year many areas are slow going and prickly. The vegetation has changed some in the four years since the map was made. The map is a bit overdetailed - can't imagine it would be very readable at 1:10000 (the symbols seem to be 1:15 or 1:10 on the 1:5000 map).

Figured sweeping all the controls wouldn't be too hard so kept the pace pretty moderate. Rushed out of the start to get going before a group on the W or Y course and headed to a different control than I had intended - small mistake which let me try out the rough open on the way to the next control. Handicapped a bit by having no control numbers on the map (they weren't on the master map) so didn't have control descriptions or codes to match up with the circles and bags. Apparently I use the orientation of the control numbers on the map to verify that my map is oriented and lost a few minutes heading off in the wrong direction late in the course. Otherwise found them all and enjoyed myself. Temp in the upper 60s so quite pleasant.

Strength and Flexibility 50:00 [2]

Today's implement of torture - the ring. Hips really didn't really need more work after yesterday's run.

Trail Run 1:00:39 5.24 mi (11:34 / mi) +325m 9:42 / mi
ahr:135 max:156 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"

From Olivia's Overlook. Charcoal Trail, Brothers Trail, Old Baldhead Rd., trail up over Baldhead, Burbank Trail to the overlook, back on Burbank Trail, cut off to Monk's Pond, Burbank Trail back to Olivia's. A fine September day - partly cloudy, dry and low 60's. Trails were in good shape. Tried to keep running on the uphills. Flying on the descent from the ridge to Monk's Pond. A fine outing.

Event: WCOC Gay City State Park

Orienteering 4:00 [2]
shoes: VJ Falcons 5

Three micro sprints. Fun but I'm not real good at these. At least I got all the controls in order on 2 out of 3. But the course setter also mispunched on the same course/control that I did, so the map must be bad in that area. ;-)

10 AM

Orienteering race 51:10 [4] *** 5.63 km (9:05 / km) +97m 8:22 / km
spiked:14/16c shoes: VJ Falcons 5

Green course at Gay City set by George and Lyn (Thanks!). A middle style course with shortish, technical legs. Had a pretty decent run. Lost some time on 5 finding the pit (it seems that my interpretation of the map didn't agree with what I saw in the terrain). Drifted left on the way to 7 and had a few "mid-course corrections" on other controls. Overall 2-3 minutes lost. Second overall to "Lyn Walker" who managed to cover the course in <40 minutes while also working registration and picking up controls on other courses. ;-)

Orienteering race 22:44 [4] *** 2.62 km (8:40 / km) +50m 7:55 / km
spiked:7/9c shoes: VJ Falcons 5

Red B course, one of three "woods sprints" making up the Red course. Got sloppy going to 4 since I had been to this point on the Green course and ended up relocating on 5 for about 2 min lost. Then on 8 I exited toward the wrong pond and lost another 2 min or so. Fun course and good middle distance practice.

Trail Run 47:13 4.48 mi (10:32 / mi) +116m 9:45 / mi
ahr:132 max:152 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"

At Hand Hollow. Lower humidity (and temperature) than it's been. Some newly blazed, partly cleared trail sections which don't seem to go anywhere useful (maybe to the edge of the property). Bushwacked a bit to return to the established trail. On the return followed the mostly clear but unblazed trail which loops around to the far side of the dam.
