Trail Run 22:02 [3] * 1.87 mi (11:47 / mi)

Running on trails at PEEC. ~9 min warmup out to where I started line-O and ~12 min coming back to the car to get back when I said I'd be done (back with 4 seconds to spare).
Orienteering (Line-O) 23:05 [3] *** 1.33 km (17:21 / km)

Drew a line on a 1:10000 version of the Stuckey Pond map at PEEC and tried to follow it. With full summer vegetation visibility was not good so I had to relocate a few times to get back on my line. Reading cliffs was particularly challenging. Used an area mapped as mostly white woods, but some areas are a bit thicker now (area is where Sandy F set Sprint 1 a few years ago). Temps in the 80's and muggy. Bugs were only bad if you stopped moving.

Circled six points on the 1:10000 Stuckey Pond map and tried to find them (all had been used as control locations in previous events). Legs were relatively short but there were no bags or streamers (hoped there might be some remnants, but apparently clean-up has been thorough). I'm pretty sure I found parallel features for two of the points rather than my intended feature. May or may not have found another of the points (a form-line knoll used as an A-meet control - what I found was pretty vague.) Confident I found the other 3. Pretty tough without markers at the points but good practice. Had a couple of more points circled but ran out of time.
