Event: West Point A-meet
Walking 35:00 [1] 0.9 mi (38:54 / mi)
AM DP on Lake Pop map, 35' with dogs. Found a control with manual punch, left out ? even 2 years? I was in very same vicinity '08. Walked over to it. Cadet training course? Read the tag: "Please do not remove - map and compass course". At the very instant I released it, someone shouted "I found it". I was sure I was the only one within "miles". Was a raft leader-type fellow doing an O training course.

10 AM
Orienteering race 35:37 3.82 km (9:19 / km) +128m 7:59 / km
shoes: Avant O
Middle: decent run/energy, B+ performance. Confusion at start and a few legs when map contact just suddenly disappeared... but only circling was on # 9. Was doubtful about the hamstring which held up just fine. Nice terrain & nice use of it.
Not 10' before start, noticed I did not have my e-punch! Lost on the ground somewhere. Dave Urban noticed my frantic circling, approached: "are you looking for a blue e-punch?". Thanks, Dave! Sunday, after the long, I found someone's e-punch on the ground in front of refreshments. Taped it above the results. Was gone later so it must have made its way to its owner.

Orienteering race 17:40 [4] 2.54 km (6:57 / km) +49m 6:20 / km
shoes: Avant O
Sprint around Round Pond - interesting course. PG started 1' behind, I knew he was starting not much after but exactly how much I did not care to know. Ran by the first control &, in returning, PG had punched it. Rest of course was a mixture of his being ahead, some alongsdide, once behind and with a few other runners in the latter half of the course making for no significant loss of time. Forgot to stop watch, learned another 305 item.
Very nice dinner at Schades in HF with Beth, Ernst, BP, Jim A, Hans B and later sitting round MJ's lantern til 9pm (!), much of the conversation was about skiing! Quiet, restful night camping.
Faces in the crowd, sprint
Sprint finish
Evening light on water, Popolopen

Walking 30:00 [1] 0.8 mi (37:31 / mi)
PM DP down to what turned out to be Wilkins Pond. Could see water thru the trees from the campsite & went that way. A mystical early spring moment with the spring green of treetops and intense emerald of grass along the shore.
