Event: NEOC Rocky Woods
 

Red course at NEOC Rocky Woods event. After the longish run yesterday decided not to do the blue course, which was ~2k longer. Fairly technical terrain with some blueberry underfoot and small pines which have grown in since the map was made. The pines are large enough to affect visibility. Made several smallish errors totaling about 10 minutes, most of them due to me not identifying the things which were actually mapped and some of them due to the ambiguity of copying circles from master maps. A bit warmer than yesterday (in the 40's) and sunny. Forerunner measured about 7.5k actual distance.

Red - Splits

Event: WCOC Trout Brook Valley
 

One person relay at Trout Brook Valley. Four loops ranging from 2.1k to 2.6k, each with about 100m of climb (with long downhill runs back to the map exchange) . First three loops went east from the map exchange into open woods with lots of walls and trails. Fourth loop headed west where the woods were somewhat thicker and the terrain more technical. Loop order: B(2.5k) - A(2.6k) - C (2.1k) - D(2.1k). Splits: 25:17, 23:32, 19:50, 32:27. Had about 8 minutes of errors, including 5min on #18 on the last loop which I overshot. Sunny, but only about 40F with some breeze. Forerunner measured 11.06km actual distance covered.
