Event: CSU Lynn Woods
10 AM
Orienteering race 56:50 [3] 5.09 km (11:10 / km) +160m 9:39 / km
CSU Lynn Woods meet, ran Green Y from last fall A meet. Nice Nov day. Would give myself a "C" for the run - sloppy, in & out of map contact. Often more attention called for than I thought was req'd. Think green has gotten greener in past maybe 3 yrs since fieldchecking. I see white pine grow very quickly here at home on Nottingcook map - so maybe the fillin is 20-30% more now at eye level.... Most technical map in Boston area - throw in the green & it can wear ya down! Thanks to Alex, Ed, Brendan, Larry Sara Mae. Will admit to some ridiculous orienteering with 305 track later.
Left late for a one year old's first birthday in Stow - failed to record the chocolate icing-covered face which was very messy!
1. went mostly straight, left wall from where it dropped off spur & still managed to be high tho I'm sure I saw the big bldr
2. after path, went under the 2 large cliffs, then to the rf where I expected to see flag. Nothing doing - some circling, back to w/in sight of large cliffs & back in, then on & saw it farther along - guess the next NNE rf. Surely not in center of circle.
3. straight, careful, right? did not get myself located - saw the path - after enuf flailing around to the N, got on the path went S to the path jct & came to it from there. BP saw it right away from #2, 32 secs on the leg.
4. ok - didn't think it was SE part of knoll but no matter
5. did not see open marsh, came upon big bldr to S of line, reloc by small open marsh SSW of flag (!) & then went to flag - how I got there (to small open marsh across green)....
6. floundered around pt a bit with BP - we were near but did not see
7. beautifully open, went low, got there maybe 20" after BP
8. st, picked my way, not in contact in middle, recalled the approach fm last yr, still not clean in end
9. pretty much st W to path, lost contact but path came up -- managed to run by flag thinking about the photographer last year who caused me to do same...hopeless...
10. attacked fm intersection - again lots of green; tp showed up to replay a year ago
11. followed the paths & right thru parking lot, literally right by Beth & dogs - did not really recog marsh - looked more like open field - was not sure spur or reent
12. similar to last yr - fellow standing there
13. st to cars/field
Noted outside the window
