Green day 2 of New England Championships. Some better legs, some better route choices (extremely conservative), less slogging through mountain laurel.

Still a couple of doozies of legs. 5 to 6, a short leg, lost contact, had trouble relocating, wandered around quite a bit. 12 to 13, relatively easy on paper, crossing two paved roads. Must have done at least 1 180, because I couldn't get the terrain and roads to match up. Eventually came through the corner of the arena to relocate. Bleah.

Model map walking.

Green day 1 at Willard Brook. Distance is an estimate because the Garmin came off my arm while I struggled in the mountain laurel. I didn't notice it until I went to hit lap at #6 and found my wrist bare. That compounded a stupid route choice from 5 to 6.

Also missed a pretty obvious, and better route choice on the long leg from 3 to 4, over the top. It was 4 extra (5m) contours, which for some reason looked like a good reason to go around. Except going around meant a lot of struggling through laurel, plus getting off my bearing, plus, plus, plus.

It was wonderful to see the O community gathering in a large, mostly socially distanced environment.

Green 1 - Splits

Reservoir loop + the Crusher. There was a little nip in the air, so I'm glad I had a helmet liner and windbreaker for the downhills.
