Don’t Get Lost Icebreaker
Bash invited me to wander around Hamilton mountain looking for orange flags, so I took a welcome break from my ordinary routine.
The plan was to grab the northern set of easy controls (some nice so ecwere required prior to going down the mountain), then go to the big points. The optimistic scenario was to grab 75 on the way down, the hit the triangle. If time looked good, search out the trolls and then head back up.
The descent was pretty slow and after the first triangle, the second looked questionable. Even the trolls might compromise finish time, so skipped to 56/57 then back up the hill. On the way, seeing how tightly packed 4 of the 5 troll bridges were made me think we could have squeezed them in, but too late now. Lots of time for a lazy climb and punch out with a decent amount of time to spare.
I think we could have hit the trolls and had to climb a few minutes faster. Or grabbed one of the southern easy markers (36 or 39) prior to 100. But it was a safe route and I’m ok with that. I’m pretty sure Bash would have taken 200-300 more points on her own.
I was surprised how orderly the GPS track looked.
Really fun outing. I can see doing more such events.

Just some practice navigation after the event. It solidified the importance of having multiple markers to track between checkpoints - the tunnel CP smashed this home.

I was able to get to over half of today’s 11 stop errand run without the car. Great day for it.
Physical donations spread across three places - different places take different things. It’s a shame In From The Cold isn’t taking clothing right now, because I have some really good offerings for that type of thing.

I was shooting for an age ride but stopped with a cramp in my right thigh. I don’t recall a thigh cramp in the past but didn’t want to push it after almost 3 months off.
