Extra-Long course at CNYO local event at Gilbert Lake SP. Course was the Long-Difficult (Red) course followed by the Middle-Medium (Orange) course with map exchange. 7.2k/210m/12c then 3.9k/120m/10c. Several long route choice legs on the first map, mostly trail run versus woods run choice. Navigation was straightforward on the second map so it was just a matter of keeping the brain functioning. Woods were junky in places but fine in others - found out afterwards that light green hadn't gotten printed so all the green patches shown were medium while white was either white or light green. It was pretty obvious in the terrain that you wanted to avoid green. Temps were in the low 60's with sun at the start but clouding up by the time I finished. Forerunner measured 14.3km.

Navigation was generally good. Lost about 4 minutes on one leg due to bad compass work leading to a parallel error. Made a bad route choice on another leg which cost a few minutes and involved an unpleasant encounter with briars.

66N, Shaker Museum Rd and back. Summery - 75F and humid.
