Event: WCOC DuO #3, Huntington
 

Long course at CNYO event at Gilbert Lake SP (two loops/maps, basically a short orange course (2.8k) followed by a green course (4.3k)). Raining, fairly hard at times, but temperature was about 60F, so rather nice for running. Every reentrant was a stream (including lots of unmapped ones). Lost about 6 minutes total spread among 4 controls. Was slightly off on a few others but spotted the bag and corrected. Nice to get a chance to finally run on the map (it was used 3 years ago for the Halloween Howl A-meet but I was involved helping run the event and didn't compete).

Full Moon Road Intervals. 6 x 0.25mi with 2:00 recovery. Splits: 142, 143, 141, 142, 145, 145. Last two were slightly uphill. Up and down Rt 66.

AOWN: Several dozen Canada geese honking and flying in formation as I started. They seemed to be headed toward Canada.

An easy run, trying not to push the pace (even though it was cool and I wanted to run faster to get warmer). 66N, Albany Tpke and back.

Beautiful day, sunny and mid-70's. By the time I ran, the sun was gone (i.e. set) and it was in the upper 60's but it was still very fine. North on 66 and back. The Forerunner was in metric mode so I occupied my mind multiplying the per km pace by 8/5 and doing some base 60 math. Saw a couple of deer on the way back and was concerned that they might dart out into the road and make a car swerve into me - they ran the other way (only by chance since deer appear to be quite ignorant of the ramifications of interacting with cars).
