GreenX day 2 at Mt. Tom. The forecast I had seen a day or so ago was for clear skies and temps in the 60s. Bleah. We had cool rain that slowed down to cool light rain until after the awards were done. I had trouble staying warm after I finished, until I managed to change into new clothes. Still not enough layers.

The orienteering was slightly better today. I recovered quickly from a couple of parallel errors. Made a parallel error on the left from 4 to 5, that ended up past a swamp. I interpreted some wet ground that I found too soon as the swamp I wanted, but the surrounding terrain did not match.

GreenX2 - Splits

Event: Troll Cup and Junior National Champs
 

GreenX day 1. Blew the first control, logging the worst split of everyone on GreenX. Woot.

Had a good route choice and execution on the long SW leg from 3 to 4, where I stayed at the foot of the steep scree slope. Jim A punched 3 after and 4 before me, but I suspect he was running at times. I was mostly walking and occasionally jogging.

4 to 5 I executed great until the attack point, at which point I missed the flag ascending, and missed it again recovering from the stream 100m NNE. Grr.

I looked at the monster leg 5 to 6 (22 contours straight up the featureless slope) and cursed Phil. Phil said later that I will hate him even more for tomorrow. I can't wait. I slogged up the hill, but spiked the control.

6 to 7 I thought I was in execellent contact, but missed left and had to recover.

No energy for moving uphill at any measurable pace.
