I think Cemetery hill is a lot of fun. I had fun trading back and forth with two girls along the course. They were good and fast too. In the end Anna out sprinted me to the end. Great job Anna!

A mass start, wow. That was fun. I was my most nervous all weekend at the start of this event. I was a little intimidated to be on Mount Tom and then to be starting at the same time as all these other great orienteers. It turned out great though. I had a few mistakes on the course. For the first control I ran up the road to the north west of the start to the intersecting trail. Then I tried to cut up to the next trail too early and discovered too late that I was actually still down below the long line of cliffs west of Goat Peak. So I climbed up the cliffs to get back on the trail. Not the recommended route! I got a little confused with all the cliffs in the region southwest of 2. I stayed a little too high on the way to 4 instead of getting down into the reentrant and following right to 4. After that I managed to slow down a little and improve my navigation. Although on 9 I saw the hill to the southeast of 9 and thought it was just a big knoll and ran hard for it only to realize later upon inspection of my map that I ran right by the actual control.

C • well done 4
