Secret project (not so secret if you consider my past end of year antics and look at a track or two) w/ BNM, this time with a new twist hopefully edited for tomorrow.
~47 c, ~10 km straight line.
Stinchfield Woods Road was treacherous! I slid away from my car by standing still. Sheer ice with a nice layer of water on top. Surprised I got back to pavement.

Something I've wondered about before - and hardly non exhaustive, but this n=1 suggests: don't need to overthink planning. Just draw up a route to maximum the number you can get. Couple that with Rick's time keeping method (evenly split the control quantity through the time quantity, eg, 30 c = 7.5 every half hour or so), and you have some low stress rogaine / score route planning.
Point values ranged from 30 to 80 here (Maybury).
Or the corollary - if you are planning a score o, you don't have to kill yourself with nth degree balancing and optimization, good enough is probably good enough.

Super fun time at Maybury. Grateful to have not botched white out 66.
I looked at the time I spent doing 40-49-42-53, which was 12 minutes. BJ took 7 minutes to get from 53-40, which means +5 minutes to swing the loop - he had 5:30 to spare going off of his LiveLox total time.
The one factor I have not accounted for is that I hit that section early and was fresh, flying from 42 to the trail, whereas BJ was late into his race and mentioned he was hitting a wall, so perhaps expected pace was not the same. But if you have him get 71 on the first pass, that's enough to cover some of that, I figure. Also, 53-42 is harder than 42-53, which might add a little time.

Non competitive run around Holly Rec. I tried to get them all, and was mostly on track, but energy flagged right as the woods thickened up a little at my halfway point, so I started bleeding time. I think a clear was possible by a faster person, but I should not have gone for the red herring at 54. I bobbled trying to squeeze between the greens to hit it direct, but I missed by two access roads and had to backtrack, and hit my last time target 5 minutes behind instead of five minutes ahead. This really wrecked my campground loop, and I literally saw controls I couldn't get to. 56 seconds late, almost could have made it on time if i hadn't put hands on knees to catch breath and walked last two hills. I'd be good at this were I in shape.
FUN!! Really glad I went if even if I was unofficial.

pickup, c and some trash since I was frustrated to see another hunter troll our FB (I hid and ignored).
