Event: NEOC - Mt. Tom
 

Western Mass Rules Score-O at Mt. Tom. Nice course set by Phil on a perfect day for orienteering (50 and sunny, continuing the streak for November). Went counterclockwise, doing the more technical controls across the road first (got #8 on the way). Hit all the controls pretty well (employed the technique of keeping in contact with the map). Only error was in choosing to do 11-7-6-10 rather than 7-6-11-10 and had to go about 400m further and climb about 50m extra. FR measured 7.55 km.

Event: HVO Local Event - Blue Mountain
 

Red course at HVO local event on Blue Mountain Reservation map. Fun course by Dave Webber with lots of technical stuff. Lost contact on the way to 5 and took a while to relocate (saw the bag for #13 but didn't identify it as one of my later controls - D'oh!). Parallel errors on 9 and 16. Probably could've been about 15 min faster. Upper 40's but quite breezy (OK in the woods). FR measured 9.11 km, which indicates quite a bit of wandering on the controls I botched.

Red - Splits

S on 66 and back. Still warm for November (50).
