To the top of Westwood Drive with two Pokemon chasers, who found some things.

Event: Forest-X
 

Forest-X at Rocky Woods, Medfield. I arrived after the mass(?) start, but Alex/Ed/The Bermans were glad to have me. Mostly fast walking, some jogging, with the occasional shortcuts where the highlighted trail left an obvious alternative.

I managed to finish without getting lapped by Tom D.

10k - Splits

Volunteer stint with OARS and Acton Conservation doing rough work clearing a section that will become a trail beside the Assabet River in Acton and Maynard. Mostly pruning/lopping, hauling, and some trash collection.

Exploring Oak Hill conservation land in Littleton. Some parts looked like they might be MTB-able in competition, but some parts of the trails were gnarly, overly rooted and rocky such that I wouldn't feel safe drawing people there to ride. I managed to get disoriented, and actually used my iPhone's compass app to orient the map to relocate. While disoriented, I managed to get into and out of Tophet Chasm without being eaten by a grue.

One huge rock sported a scenic vista, http://www.singletracks.com/photo.php?p=58965 but I couldn't see Boston. I am also not familiar with the terrain NW of Boston to know what I was looking at, either. (In comparison to some of the scenic views from Wachusett, Northboro, etc, where I have some idea of which towns I'm likely to be facing.)

Around the office park across the street.
