4 PM
Walking (Rollins Park) 25:44 [1] 0.82 mi (31:18 / mi) +1m 31:11 / mi
Perimeter with W on the way to town. Chilly day, sun in and out. We met our share of dogs and young people, most of them in shorts and/or tee shirts, ie, youthful circulation - as I zipped my jacket & windbreaker all the way up.
1 PM
Orienteering (Bear Brook SP) 1:56:41 [2] 3.67 mi (31:48 / mi) +166m 27:53 / mi
Orienteering walk with W at BB, mix of sun and cloud, even a bit of rain at the very end. A busy Podunk parking area on a Sunday afternoon. I had a 1/10 map from 2013, chosen because it was clearly printed. Initially, I had trouble finding my start triangle - Podunk as been resurfaced which made some diff and then couldn't pin down a roadside pit and ditch but contours made sense. Just as I was about to say 'Voila', a biker passed ahead about 50m away on an unmapped path which threw me off, not being aware at the time that the map was an 11 year old version. The goal was to not lose map contact. I did a good enough job with that, going slowly, being pedantic, making O work, so to speak. Finally I came out on Podunk opposite an ominous-looking
Hayes field, returning on Podunk. No cars there today as the road is gated off. Good to be in the BB woods giving 'O a go'.
Weightexercise workout (@PF) 35:00 [1]
Yard Work 1:00:00 [1]
Yes, at this age, it is work, ie, 'training'...raking last fall's leaves from the tight areas (most of it) of our 'crowded' yard (mostly pachysandra). For a few years, we paid "kids" (30ish) to come to blow leaves hither and yon. Whatever happened to the rake? Life is not as simple as the modern day leaf blower would have it.
4 PM
Walking (Hammond NP) 49:26 [1] 1.86 mi (26:38 / mi) +36m 25:07 / mi
Another fine day, this one without the wind. Saw a butterfly alight on the path - on March 14th, likely a climate change sighting. Willow came along, still fragrant and white from her Tuesday grooming. Never quite know when mud will be part of the uniform of the day. After the usual effort and expense for a more than acceptable appearance, there's reluctance to take her on 'an adventure' for a few days.
10 AM
Orienteering 1:53:54 [2] 3.66 mi (31:07 / mi) +129m 28:03 / mi
Brown O course (3.7k, 10c) from our meet there last May 20. Lovely early spring day - sunny and, of course, leafless and bugless. Lots of open woods and not a lot of rock in this section of forest. Crossed three streams, each with a stick I'd searched for for balance. There was a time when streams etc were given only a few seconds consideration in their negotiating. It was tiring - more than I've done in quite some time. Toward the end, I sat by a swamp with a 7 oz coke. It beat the view from the power line. Strava gpx=98' and 3.14mi.
