Event: Sebago Lake
 

Sebago Lake - South. Red Course. Apparently, we didn't use up all the blueberry and rocks at the Highlander last weekend because there was still plenty left. :-) Did fairly well navigationally except for one control where I completely lost track of where I was (while on a trail!) and spent about 5 minutes figuring it out. I wasn't even sure which way to go to relocate for a few minutes. Ended up that I was only about 100m from the control. It's been a long time since I've felt so totally lost, but it was reassuring that I was able to figure it out without having to go several hundred meters to relocate. Lost about 10 minutes total, 2 or 3 of which was on a bag I think was hung further up a reentrant than where the circle was. Nice, but cool day, nice woods and fun course. Map seems to be a bit outdated vegetation-wise.

Event: WCOC Tarrywile Meet
 

32W, Jefferson Hill Rd, Albany Tpke, 66S. Hilly. 49F and breezy. Skipped WCOC Tarrywile meet (been there, done that) to catch up on winterizing around the house. Still need to put the lawnmower away and get out the snowblower.

66S, Richmond Rd to Bashford and back. Almost 60F. Looks like it might be the last run in shorts for a while. No apparent remaining effects of the Highlander (other than the scrape on my right arm from a fall just before control 24). Ready for more Harriman on Sunday!

Rt. 66N. A relatively short run to loosen the legs up. Felt OK once I got moving. Much easier recovery than from last year's Highlander when I couldn't run for nearly a week.
