Event: WCOC Macedonia
 

Red course at WCOC local event at Macedonia Brook. OK run except for one 5 - 6 minute error where I stopped one wall short and spent way too much time looking before I accepted that I wasn't in the right place. A few smaller errors for 8 - 9 minutes total. Low to mid 60 minutes was quite doable. Plenty of barberry - quite visible with new, bright green leaves. Fun course by Peter Goodwin with lots of controls. See comments in split list. Temps in the 50's to start, then warming up a bit as the sun came out after I finished. Forerunner measured 8.08km.

Red - Splits

Red course at HVO local event on Rockhouse Mountain Map. Lots of rock and mountain laurel but map is excellent even though it's 15 years old (and it's at 1:15000). 4 - 5 minutes of errors spread among several controls. Nice course set by Bernie Breton. Upper 60's, partly cloudy with some breeze. Forerunner measured 10.32km.

Hill Intervals at Hand Hollow Conservation Area (in the eastern part). Did 6 x 400m uphill hard with 300m downhill recovery. 210m of climb (9%). Splits: 236, 248, 241, 227, 222, 202. Steeper part of the hill is near the bottom (first three splits). Climbs for each interval: 54, 48, 48, 30, 24, 12 meters. A tad intense. Recovery periods averaged about 205. Very nice day - 70, sunny and low humidity.

AOWN: A Heron sitting on the nest at the rookery near where I parked. Several pairs of Canada geese in the field (nesting? - that'll be a lot of goslings in a month or two).

Road run - Syring, Albany Tpke N to gas pipeline and back. Mostly uphill on the way out with total climb estimated at 300 ft or so. Negative split by over 2 minutes. 70's and sunny - nice!
