Went out to Mt Norwottuck in Amherst. A fairly good run without any major misses, but probably still lost 10 minutes on bad route choices. I was way round about going to both 6 and 10. I also did minor things on 6 and 16. For 6 I came too far west and had to struggle through a lot of greenery and for 16 I hit the trail after the split and started to climb my way up to the peak before turning around. Add another 3-4 minutes for those things.

So all in all, the orienteering was pretty good, though the course took a beating out of me with all the climbing so that was by far the biggest factor being behind Ali by 27 minutes.

Forgot to shut off my GPS watch for 36 seconds. My official time is 138:42.

Blue - Splits

Checking out control locations in the fells for the meet next week.

Did a morning run for once and did some hills. Too early in the day, so I only did three hills, though pretty long ones. 30m climb for 0.125 miles:

67 seconds, 60 seconds (8 min/mile) and 64 seconds.

Short and easy run. Want to make sure I don't go too fast so I can recover.

Very tired legs from the activities last weekend, but pretty happy with my pace. The cool weather helped a lot.

Put out the remaining streamers at Prospect Hill.
