Another round at Storrs Pond - Oak Hill, addressing some comments from the IOF Advisor and doing some additional tweaks of control locations. Got an early start (0730) so mostly avoided the heat - in the mid-80s when I finished just before noon. Visibility OK in most places in spite of full greenness, so it should be alright at NAOC time. Ferns are thriving, as are the mosquitos. Two (dog) ticks crawling around on me when I got back to the car - neither will suck blood again.

Green course at UNO local event (part of the NE Challenge Series). Good course set by Alar. Quite warm (in the 80s). Pretty much a disaster orinteering-wise. I kept losing contact 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through the leg. Then it became a relocation exercise (actually did fairly well doing that, using the map and features to figure out where I was and only bailing to a trail once). Botched the execution of the long leg by missing the large marsh system I intended to follow. Easily 30+ minutes of extra time on the course which combined with the heat made for a long day. Had some unpleasant leg cramping later while riding in the car. Still a great venue and map.
