Event: WCOC Ansonia Nature Center
 

Red course at Ansonia, set by Rich N and Jim H. Nice course on a great map (except for the area near the S/F where the barberry is winning). A few good long legs and plenty of fun technical stuff. And made even better by the weather, which was sunny and low 70s.

An OK run with a few avoidable errors. Missed #1 high and spent some time checking large boulders beyond the control. Visited #5 before #4 when I misread which clump of boulders I was seeing (#4 might be described as a vague feature (shallow reentrant) in an undermapped area). Probably lost about 4 minutes on each of those. Lost a minute on #6 checking the wrong stone pile and another minute on #12 misidentifying which stone wall I was seeing after crossing through the barberry jungle. Did well and had fun with 8-9-10-11 in the technical area in the eastern part of the map.

SL distance 6.2 km.

Red - Splits

Event: EMPO - Grafton Lakes State Park
 

Hanging bags at Grafton, mostly for the Orange and yellow courses. Then spent the next several hours on my feet while people ran around in the woods. Everyone came back. Plenty of help with control pick up so I didn't have to get any of them (Thanks to Phil and Sue H-T, Will, Gabor, and Janet. ) Weather turned out much better than predicted with a shower early and then dry with the sun appearing by mid-afternoon.

Hanging bags at Grafton.

With weights and also some "power yoga" moves the instructor picked up over the weekend.

I am now officially an old guy, having become a grandpa at 1:07am today. :-)
