Event: RHINO night-O
 

RHINO Long Night-O at Ratlum Mtn., followed by feasting and socializing. Thanks to Charlie and Rhonda for hosting us.

A bit of laurel bashing in the dark. Took the first couple of controls to remember how to navigate in the dark but then mostly OK. Bad route choice to #5 (left around the fenced area which was much greener than going around to the right). Pushed off to the right by laurel going to #7 and then turned the wrong way. Phil caught up to me here and then I led him into the controls for the rest of the course. Full moon and brisk (~30F).

Near full moon, so plenty of light, especially with snow still on the ground. About 35F. HR bogus early in run (even though I wet the strap).

Raining and 30's outside, so the treadmill it was. A few faster bits - 0.5 mi at 7:15 pace, 2 x 0.25 mi at 7:00 pace separated with easier paced quarter miles. First 10 minutes or so of the FR trace are rowing.

First erging in a while. Took it fairly easy. ~2300 meters.

Event: WCOC Sessions Woods
 

Red course at Sessions Woods, WCOC local event. Nice December day with temperature approaching 50F. A good job by Bill Duncan with his first try at course setting. Woods were wide open and quite fast. Route choice error on #3 cost me about 90 seconds. Apparently I was the only one who thought that the direct route to the trail through dark green wasn't a good one. Going around cost me about 5 additional contours and a bit of distance. Was a little to the right on #11 at a cost of 20 - 30 sec. Otherwise was reading features pretty well and maintaining contact.
