42F, overcast. Got to Stratton Brook with Hayden and realized I forgot my shoes. So ran both courses in holey, bald Hokas with peeling soles - not so good for sidehilling on steep slopes. Decent run, only major problem was on 16 where I hit the depression feature spot on, didn't see flag in the pine saplings and decided I needed to look for a smaller depression to the left. Didn't go too far before decided I must have been correct to begin with and turned back to grab it. Good enough for top spot on the day, though I could have been faster/stronger on hills.
Orienteering race (Stratton Brook Yellow) 21:27 2.11 mi (10:10 / mi) +71m 9:13 / mi

Elected to go out and do a 2nd course (yellow) for sprint training, but it was a full woods run so not quite the same. For some reason, leaving #5 I went straight into the woods, not a bad plan of action, but my brain went into daydream mode. I have no idea what i was thinking about, but it wasn't orienteering. Found myself cruising along, passing some other folks, then looked to my left to see the rail trail & stream and asked myself what the hell I was doing down here, so far off my original plan. Easy correction back uphill to #6, but certainly the long way around. But still clear of the next best split by 1:48. Good for another 'win', but that really wasn't the point of running this course. Legs pleasantly thrashed afterwards. Started watch late, stopped late so track is whacked.
