Red course at HVO local event at Clear Lakes (now Durland Scout Reservation). SL 7.8km, climb ~360m on the routes I should have taken - I did more. Courses by Bernie Breton, applying some of the principles from the West Point School of Course Design. ;-) Very open woods, sunny and upper 40's. Lots of rock, some of it mapped.
My orienteering was mostly good. Had some trouble seeing the walls on the map since the lines were pretty thin for some of them. Stopped short on 7 and ended up returning ~150m to re-attack from the stone wall (noticed afterwards that the connecting line covered a couple of features which I was seeing in the terrain). Went brain-dead on the relatively simple leg from 8 to 9 and took 3 or 4 minutes to figure it out. Small miss on 17 climbing up a spur I didn't need to. About 10 minutes time loss overall.

A couple of kilometers at threshold pace (target 5:05 so I was a little too fast). 2:00 recovery between. Nice for running at 45F and no significant wind. Splits: 448, 456.

Red course at Hurd SP (WCOC local event). 6.7 k SL, about 240m by my count. Hosted by George and Lyn on a newly updated map using Lidar contours. Nice, mostly open woods with generally good footing but currently leaf covered. And another fine day weatherwise - about 50 and partly cloudy.
A rather sloppy run. Often found myself significantly off-line, resulting in lost time on controls 3, 6, 7 and 8. Had a little trouble at 2 since there was a group of about 15 (!) people huddled around the bag. Followed the line headed towards 7 for a bit while headed for 3. Actual time lost was probably about 5 or 6 minutes total, but that was enough to drop me 4 places.
