Trail Run 1:21:14 ** 7.02 mi (11:34 / mi) +488m 9:31 / mi
ahr:122 max:141 shoes: NB 874
Trails at Pittsfield SF. Up Parker Brook Trail to Tilden Swamp (actually a rather large pond thanks to the beavers), then up over Tower Mountain (with no tower) and to Berry Pond (the highest naturally occurring pond in MA at 2100+ ft). Up over Berry Hill and then down the paved road to the ATV trail (thank goodness they've finally restricted them to this one trail). Took the ATV trail to Turner Trail for a twisty downhill on this fairly new mountain bike trail and then back to the car (parked at Lulu Pond). Carried a map of the trails and used it since few trail junctions have signage. (The "trail map" issued by the park is useless unless you already know the trails. I found a map online which is an overlay of GPS tracks on the USGS Topo map and is much more useful).
Had a wildlife encounter with what I think was a ruffed grouse, apparently trying to keep me away from a nest since she tended to come toward me rather than run or fly away.
Overcast and low 60's so quite nice for running. A few sprinkles and humid. Walked often on the uphills to keep the HR in a reasonable range, although nothing was particularly steep.

Event: EMPO - Thacher State Park
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:14:16 *** 8.62 km (8:37 / km) +195m 7:44 / km
ahr:131 max:150 spiked:9/14c shoes: Black Jalas
Red course at EMPO local event at Thacher SP. Sloppy. Way off on a couple of compass legs. Too familiar with the map so I was just going in the general direction of controls and hoping to recognize things. Technique didn't work more often than it did. Visibility low due to vegetation - missed an opportunity to work on one of my weaknesses. Oh well, at least I spiked the contol that was the same as one I used in the 2007 Billygoat.
Raining with some breeze and about 60F when I started. Rain stopped after a bit so running was comfortable but wet. Straightline distance about 6.4km.

Trail Run 48:30 4.71 mi (10:18 / mi) +215m 9:01 / mi
ahr:125 max:145 shoes: NB 874
Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Parked near the reservoir at the opposite end of the area from where I normally park (higher up on the ridge but still uphill to start). Ran on a few sections of trail which I'm not sure I've ever been on but also lots of familiar stuff. Hot - temps in the 80's.
