Hickory Run SP, virtual course set up by Greg A. Did the “Adv 2” course, which was 4.6k straight line, starting and finishing at the Sand Creek Lake parking area. Warm with temperature about 80 and sunny.
I used both UsynligO on my phone and O-range on my watch to verify my control visits. Both worked well, triggering at all the controls, usually before arriving at the actual feature (a couple of times before I even saw the feature). UsynligO is more user friendly for my older ears, playing a short tune when the control site is detected versus just a few beeps from the watch. I had turned the phone volume up, which is not an option with the watch. Since I had the phone in a waist pack, the watch was much easier to visually check to see if it had incremented to the next control.
My orienteering went well with small errors at two controls from which I recovered quickly. Visibility was limited in many areas since the vegetation has leafed out. Having no markers at the control sites kept me focused on reading features so I didn’t get hopelessly lost and to confirm that I was indeed at the right place when the devices sounded - I guess that’s how you’re supposed to do it. :-)
Heart rate data looks bogus, so I shifted all the level 5 to level 3. Time includes extra both before and after the run since O-range includes a pre-race warm-up and continues to run after finishing until you press a button. Actual time was about 70 minutes.
Thanks to Greg A for setting this up.

Pinchot State Forest, Thornhurst area. Parked near Big Pine Hill and ran mostly on the Pinchot Trail, although segments of it have different names (likely the 26-mile long Pinchot Trail was created by uniformly blazing pieces of an existing trail network to create a big loop). The trail is mostly single track with some rocky areas (duh-Pennsylvania!). Started to fade after about 4 miles and intermixed running and hiking for the later part of the run. It didn’t seem particularly hot but it was in the low 70s and sunny. Leaf out is just beginning, so there wasn’t much shade so maybe I was affected more than I thought. Visited the observation deck on top of Big Pine Hill - you can see quite far, but all you see is lots of forest.

A middle distance course I sketched out at the Thomas Iron Works site in Hellertown (map by Petr Hartmann - we may eventually use it for an actual competitive event, so I hid the track - a small but detailed area best used between November and March when the vegetation is in retreat). 3.2k, 22 controls, no flags or streamers. I had planned to use this as a test of the O-range app, but something's funky with the georeferencing and things weren't lining up so I just ran it and recorded the track. Found all the control sites OK with an occasional hesitation to confirm. Also found a couple of areas of stinging nettles :-( . Lower 60s and breezy.
