UNO Boulder Dash on Burnt Mountain map. Green X course - 5.3k with 240m climb. Map (thankfully) printed at 1:7500. Very complex terrain but runnable woods with generally good visibility. Sunny with temps in the 60s (started at 12:06p, late in the start window).
A pretty decent run. Very focused on keeping contact and usually chose safer routes (i.e. involving trails or other solid handrails). Lots of hesitations stopping to read the map and features. Lost about two minutes on #5 when I headed up a wrong reentrant 20-30 degrees off from the one I wanted. Relocated using trails and trail junctions. Otherwise the bags all showed up where I expected them to. AP shows about 30 sec of error on #6 which is about the time it took me to verify my location when I hit a trail on my intended route. In a dead heat with Phil for 2nd in M60. Tie for 7th overall on Green X out of about 25.

Stopped at Paugussett on the way to NH for the Boulder Dash and played in the woods. Had a 1:10000 map from long ago (i.e. trails were outdated but the rocks and contours hadn't moved much). Visited several control sites in the fairly technical middle of the map, focusing on accuracy rather than speed (and without any flags it was plenty challenging). Nice day - 60s and partly cloudy.

Easy run on the Saucon Rail Trail from Hellertown to Reading St. Parking area (and back). 70F and humid - where is October? Still some stiff and sore parts from Sunday but nothing was bothersome while running.

Event: SVO Susquehanna Stumble XIX
11 AM
Orienteering race 2:59:17 *** 18.01 km (9:57 / km) +470m 8:48 / km
ahr:138 max:159 spiked:25/29c shoes: Falcons 7
Susquehanna Stumble at Fair Hill, starting at the parking area off Appleton Rd. Apparently we orienteered in both Maryland and Pennsylvania, crossing the Mason-Dixon Line a couple of times. Lots of road/trail running and running across fields (which weren't particularly fast since the grass was long and thick most of the time). Three windows, each with four controls so the choice was pretty much clockwise or counterclockwise. Some nice route choice legs and a little added challenge due to vegetation changes which have occurred since the map was made (~15 yrs ago?). Warm (70s) and muggy with a few light showers during the race. It had rained overnight so things were wet.
Window order: 33-36-37-35, 46-47-49-48, 67-75-76-74.
