Albany Pine Bush Preserve from Madison Ave. Ext. trailhead. New trail connecting to Great Dune area but other trails have been closed off, leaving a very short loop from this trailhead but no medium length loop (1 - 2 mi). Apparently there's another new trail which is about a 2 mile one way traverse to one of the other trailheads. A warm 84F but not the oppressive humidity of the last few days. Plus there was some shade, at least where they haven't thinned the forest in the interest of ecosystem restoration (the Albany Pine Bush is a rather rare inland pine barren system and they're trying to get rid of stuff which doesn't belong there).

Very humid outside and about 80F so the treadmill seemed more sensible. Did some speed stuff. 3 x 3min @ 8:00 pace with 1 min recovery then 2 x 90sec @ 7:24 pace with 90sec recovery.

Score-O on Star Village map (DVOA local event). 30 controls distributed around the Star Village map by Steve Aronson and Sharon Siegler, 90 minute time limit. Map recently updated by Petr Hartman, so the trails and green were pretty accurate. Got to 19 controls for 1100 points (max 1830) with time to spare. Could've/should've gotten at least one more (worth 82 points) but missed it in the sequence - would have only added 3-4 minutes. Made the strategically correct decision to visit (and sweep) the northern part of the map first. The woods are more open and it's less steep, so point accumulation is faster. Lots of climb since I managed to descend and climb both sides of the hill. Temperature in the upper 70's and a little humid, so lots of sweating.
Control sequence: 68-42-40-88-72-62-34-66-38-70-36-78-64-76-80-60-44-50-32. Control number was point value. Should've done 82 between 36 and 78 and maybe 54 between 78 and 64.
