Event: CNYO Regaine #7
1 PM
Orienteering long 5:30:41 [2] *** 24.97 km (13:14 / km) +850m 11:19 / km
spiked:14/18c shoes: NB 874
6 hour score-O at CNYO regaine. 912 points out of a possible 1900. 2nd out of the 9 or so doing the score-O (1st had 995 I think).
Control order: 58-27-29-69-87-57-50-73-43-46-65-54-70-48-56-30-19-31. 18 points, about 16.5km straight line distance. Climb is for the routes I took, neglecting the occasional searching-up-and-down-the-wrong-streambed adventures.
Probably should've done 31 and 75 at the beginning and/or 88 between 48 and 56 since I had a half hour to spare at the end. Lost time on 27, 87, 50 and 54 for a total of about 40 minutes. Long distance attacks on 27 and 87 didn't work and I ended up having to go beyond to attack from the more logical points. Control description and mapping in the vicinity of 50 were bogus and I stumbled upon it just as I was about to bail on it. For 54 the sharp trail bend which was the obvious attack point was far less distinct than mapped.
There were some pretty ugly areas vegetation-wise but also some nice woods. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to tell from the map where the really crappy stuff was (mostly prickly stuff growing up in recently logged areas). But that's rogaining in state forests. Most of the portions of the North Country Trail I used were pretty sweet (soft surface with few rocks and roots) and quite runnable (depending on the grade).
Body held up pretty well. I was still able to run out and back to 31 at the end but did cramp up a bit crossing the open (trashy) area to get to the control. Feet sore afterwards but no blisters even though they were wet much of the time. Knees a little achy but everything seems to be returning to normal by Monday evening as I write this.
Thanks to the CNYO crew for putting on this and the whole series of long distance events.

Trail Run intervals 42:55 4.56 mi (9:25 / mi) +129m 8:39 / mi
shoes: NB 874
Intervals on trails at Hand Hollow. 4 x 3 min with 2 min recovery. About 650m for each hard 3 minutes. Sections of trail where I was running hard were generally uphill, but pretty gentle. Quite a contrast to yesterdays weather with the air temperature and dew point both about 25 degrees less than yesterday. (Temp ~60F, dp ~40F)
