Event: WCOC Brooksvale meet
Orienteering 43:34 4.4 km (9:54 / km)
Hmm, can't find my map for this now, boo. Either in car, at parents in Poughkeepsie, or at friend Maria's house, not sure which...
But anyways, had a nice little Highlander-warm up around the woods. I was wimpy and did green despite George's protest that I should be tougher... =) Did jog it, especially as I felt my hamstring feel weird as I started off through the fields.
Was ok orienteering-wise, but not spot-on. One control came out far too high and another was staying too low. Another I took a lower, earlier path, which wasn't the intended plan, but actually did save some climb.

XC skiing 49:00 [2]
And just snuck in the week's rollerski! Just before dark 6-6.50 and just out on the bike path. Glad I waited til the evening though, was much less rainy than the morning when whatever hurricane/tropical storm coming though was still at it. However, there were lots and lots of soggy leaves on the trail, so could only skate here and there, mostly double-poling. Even a tree down in one place!

Some basic strength in the office since that was the only time I had today. 13 minutes of legs/back/arms, 8 min abs.

Note
Full day commuting out to Stony Brook from Brooklyn, then meeting with folks all day, including an astronomer who xc skied at Harvard as an undergrad and orienteers, occasionally (grew up in Bulgaria/Italy). He does different stuff astro-wise (planets), but we chatted about skiing/orienteering for awhile!
Got back to Amherst at 2am, exhausted!

Argh!!! So annoyed with myself, had this amazing plan of orienteering at Mt. Tom on my way down to NYC. Alex was going to try to join even, but didn't realize I was leaving to go straight to New York after... but anyways, I forgot the map I had just picked up from Phil's office, and was so so disappointed!!! Next week for this course maybe then.
But I was there so did hill terrain intervals instead. Warm up around the lake, then 1-2-3-2-1-2 up towards the top. Wasn't feeling that springy, but it's also a pretty good hill!

Noon running (actually at noon today- a rarity!) with Sanjay, Sergio and Paul. Did an out and back to Atkins on trail, because Paul wanted to stay on trail and not road it back. Was raining and I was wearing glasses, which wasn't great, made me nervous on trail picking my way (also no ankle brace!), but no twist, so good!
The Garmin is informative to find out how long all these lunch runs actually are, but I'm not sure the guys always want to find out (if it's less...). This wasn't one of our standards today, so no one was upset at it being 6.8.

WCOC Paugussett Score-O
Really fantastic fun. I was a little wary of the whole Score-O thing, so decided to wear 2 watches so I would definitely have the time. But then I forgot to start either of them at the start! Whoops! Braindead at the beginning, apparently.
Got a few nearby ones, then a circle in control-pick territory, then out to the trail, and just nipped of the trail for all the next batch, until a longer leg to 40, which would have been an obvious one to skip if you weren't going to do all, then the second bit of control pick and then sweeping through the rest on my way in. So that's:
45, 60, 50, 42, 37, 64, 43, 35, 53, 55, 52, 58, 51, 33, 31, 46, 54, 47, 36, 63, 40, 34, 41, 62, 48, 38, 44, 56, 39, 49, 32, 57, 59, 61
The territory of the control picks was really neat stuff, mostly did pretty well, but messed up 51 quite badly. It's right off two trails, but I was coming at it from the south (58), over a pond (because it was totally dry). But there was another thing that looked like it could be a dry pond to it's east, which fooled me, I attacked from it, nothing made sense, came back, found real dry pond.
Other mistake was 44 to 56, which is really silly, because there is a stone wall between the two. I'm not quite sure how I decided to keep running south to hit a *different* stone wall when I had obviously gone way too far. But I eventually hit the next stone wall south, followed it and was bewildered when my control wasn't at the intersection, but figured it out.
Cool to see CJ who is visiting Becky for a bit in New Haven afterwards!

And QuickRoute . Feel like I know a little better what I actually did around 51 at least.
