The usual w Carl.

Catamount Trail Race Series. UVM course (yellow on green). Mid-80s, moderate humidity, very tired legs. Almost didn't go, but decided to just take it easy. Still pushed harder than I would have in a training run, but walked whenever I got tired/winded, usually only 30 m or so, then resumed. Wasn't too bad. So ready for a rest day.

Summer Strategy program on campus. Scrabble-O. 40 controls. Set up, facilitated a group, picked up. Long day. Pretty warm. Had fun.

Legs tired from the weekend. Ready for a rest day.

Event: Eastern Canadian Championships - Middle
 

Pierrefonds, Montreal, QUE Eastern Canadian O Champs. Had a pretty good run. Suboptimal route choice on #5--took the trail around. A little hesitat on #6 early on. Not so speedy anymore, but I am happy with my results. Warm but not too humid. Nice breeze near the finish.


Note: Fields were overgrown with Poison Parsnip. I saw many people who seemed to not know how dangerous it is. ONA needs to put out a story on it to make orienteers aware. I fear that some may end up with bad burns over the next week or so.

ECOC Middle - Course 5 - Splits

Event: Canada 150 Orienteering Festival
 

Unofficial time. Decent race. No big goofs but some bobbles and 2 suboptimal route choices. Tricky to tell trails vs open/clearings/bare rock-- lots of what seemed like trails, not on the map. Quite flat but therefore challenging. Gorgeous day. Low humidity, sunny, breezy. Fun day. Lots of mud!
