Trail Run race 41:00 7.84 km (5:14 / km) +70m 5:00 / km
ahr:152 max:162 shoes: Scarpa Spark Trail Shoes
Fall Back Five (mile) Trail Race at Saratoga Spa SP. Fairly tame terrain for a trail race, but still with a lot of variety and an enjoyable course. A few short, steep hills, one two-story staircase, a geyser(!), some rooty sections (very few rocks), and a mix of single-track, gravel path, paved parking lot, and grass. A few minor wet areas but generally very good footing throughout. Temperature was about 40F at race time.
I think I was 40th of 134 and 3rd of ~10 M60's, within about 30 sec of the faster M60 guys. The results were so screwed up that they called up the top finishers with "Come up and get an award if you finished in the top three." and they skipped age-group awards completely (the upside being that there were more raffle prizes to be given away). I don't expect to ever see accurate results. Both Janet and I won raffle prizes, so it's OK.

Orienteering race 1:09:48 *** 8.12 km (8:36 / km) +109m 8:03 / km
ahr:137 max:157 spiked:11/15c shoes: VJ Falcons 4 (yellow)
Green course at Five Rivers Env. Ed. Center. Straight line distance 5.9km. An improved and expanded version of the map (contours now based on Lidar data) but vegetation mapping still needs some work. A few areas of "white woods" were pretty scratchy and slow. Visibility good with most of the leaves down. Bobbled a few controls (1, 7, 12) and lost 5 or so minutes on 4 (on a vague feature in thick and prickly white woods where visibility wasn't great). Chose not to wade across the waist deep stream on the way to 6, so lost a minute or two having to re-route. Good use of the area by Frank Boscoe - challenging courses are tough to set here because of the heavy trail network. Thanks to Phil H-T for running the epunch and other helping out.
Orienteering 18:50 [2] ** 1.59 km (11:51 / km) +30m 10:49 / km
spiked:7/7c shoes: VJ Falcons 4 (yellow)
Control pickup. No map since I had been to three of the controls already. The other four were white/yellow controls which I just watched for as I circled a pond. Wasn't sure how many were around the pond but got them all.

Trail Run 1:05:40 5.78 mi (11:22 / mi) +350m 9:34 / mi
ahr:139 max:180 shoes: NB 1210 "Leadville"
From Olivia's Overlook parking. Past Monk's Pond, up to the top of the ridge, mountain bike trail out to the overlook to the east, back to the ridge, down Baldhead Rd. and then the mountain bike trail over Baldhead (peak), across the road to the Brother's Trail and back to Olivia's. 50F with some sun. Brother's Trail is now blazed (blue rectangles). HR bogus in early part of run.
