Orienteering 1:10:28 7.45 km (9:27 / km) +108m 8:49 / km
ahr:134 max:154 spiked:9/14c shoes: Jalas - sz 10
Classic distance at Troll Cup on southern part of High Rock map. 5.2k SL, 130m climb. Good technical terrain but lots of unmapped rock. And near perfect weather, sunny and in the 50s.
A pretty bad run. It was as if I forgot how to orienteer, at least through control 6 where I regrouped and refocused. Sloppy on 3, 4, 5 and 6, completely losing map contact on 5. Probably lost 8-10 minutes on these controls. Lost more time on the three control-pick controls after the long leg. Small pines in this area reduced visibility and the controls were pits and a form line reentrant, so they were all bingo controls - in the interest of fairness, I think the courses should have avoided this area. 6th in M60, 13th overall on Green X.
A nice job overall by NEOC, effectively using a single map for three events with minimal overlap. And awards were done by noon on Sunday! Thanks to all the volunteers for putting in the time and effort.

Troll Cup Preliminary Green X (Middle Distance) on High Rock map (2.7k SL, 85m). Technical New England terrain with plenty of rock and vegetation to bash through. Map was quite good, as was the course. Sunny and about 50F.
Had a good run, hitting them all pretty well. 1st M60, 3rd overall on Green X.

Troll Cup Final Green X Middle distance. On High Rock map in an area adjacent to the Preliminary and using the same finish chute. 3.5k SL, 110m climb. Good course except it seemed that several controls were on or near hilltops and a few had bags on the side from which we approached. A couple of longer legs than in the prelim, offering some good route choice options. A few degrees warmer than in the morning.
One bad control, otherwise a decent run. Lost over three minutes on the 2nd control which was only ~100m long. I think I checked an unmapped boulder very close to the one with the flag but then wandered off to the east to check some rocks there. As I left 2 I could see Tim P approaching, having made up the 4 minutes he started behind me. He caught me at 3 and we were together until about control 6. The rest of the course went well, taking the woods routes (vs trails) on both 3 and 11. 2nd on M60, 7th on Green X.
