Event: NEOC: Baldwin Hill
 

JJ's/NEOC meet at Baldwin Hill, blue course, 5.48k. Perfect wx day. Expected it to be cold, was 44F and gray at home - but temp had risen to 58F just before arrival & probably a bit warmer in the next few hours. Pleased with the run, ie, no mistakes. See very few paces where I could have picked up time - would need more overall hustle to be faster. At flag 14, came to boulders 50m N of flag & looked north than S & saw flag. Route to #19 was probably very slow: went down & along stream & wall to junction - green was tiring, esp at the end of course - staying higher in white would have been better as a guess. Goal at end was to beat 70’ and was pretty beat doing so in last few minutes. Pretty far down being blue. PG 65ish', Jeff S 63', fastest under 50'.... Fun time, not running in circles or having episodes of gross loss of map contact helps a lot. Map needs MN lines of greater contrast or different color, eg blue.

Visit with Colleen & Jim after: 2 youngish, undisciplined dogs, 2 cats, 4 parrots plus our 2 dogs.
