walking 1:45:00 [2]
Well, I got out the push mower & did the usual trimming, but also a lot of areas I normally do with the tractor. Mainly, I figured the extra walking would be good exercise. We've had a couple freezing nights, so maybe this will be the final cut of the season. Don't count on it, though.
walking 1:33:57 [1] * 5.5 km (17:05 / km)
Course setting for Indian Creek meet on Sunday. Placed all but 5 controls. I'm calling this "walking" rather than "orienteering" because I'm so familiar with the map & it is not a particularly tough area. Although I carried the master map, I probably could easily have done it all map-memory... but I'm a stickler for double checking that the right control code goes in the right spot. Did a little jogging, but its a bit awkward with an armload of control stands.
trail building / maintenance 46:00 [3]
I once again did battle with invasive honeysuckle bushes & Russian olive. If only we could train the deer to eat this stuff!

Trails at Indian Creek. Did 2 short interval sprints on relatively flat trail, which ocad measures at 365 meters each. 1:34 and 1:38. (with 3:41 and about 600 - 650 m of trail in between).

bicycling - stationary 31:09 [2]
No opportunity to get in any outdoor training today, but I did get in two sessions on a stationary bike

Second session was 2 or 3 hours after the first and I pushed a little harder.

trail running 59:57 [3] 5.0 mi (11:59 / mi)
weight:163lbs
Adena Trace Trail. Pace a little slow in places due to wet, slippery leaves and a few steep spots. Downhill was as slow as up due to the slippery conditions. Didn't hit too many spiderwebs, but the trail could use some routine maintenance.
walking warm up/down 17:35 [1] 0.8 mi (21:59 / mi)
Short & slow cool-down walk on the trail. Kicked some fallen leaves off a wooden footbridge & tossed a few fallen branches off the trail.
walking 1:36:45 [1] 6.0 mi (16:08 / mi)
hiking, 90% on trail with a couple short paved road sections.

walking 3:42:06 [1] 16.0 km (13:53 / km)
Hiking, mostly on "single-track" trails, but half a mile or so of brushy off-trail and a quarter mile or so of paved road. Some areas seem to have had very little traffic, so I spent some time tossing larger fallen branches off the trail & trampling a few over-growing nettles & brambles.

orienteering race 1:26:13 [4] *** 7.9 km (10:55 / km)
shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes
North American Championships - "Wine - O" course. All adult finishers received a small (185 ml) bottle of wine... a very nice touch. Very interesting area atop the Niagara Escarpment, with a beautiful view of Toronto & Lake Ontario from the high cliffs at the east edge of the map. I didn't have as much time to warm up as I would have liked... just a few minutes of walking & stretching.

Note
Did about 20 minutes of walking & slow jogging before the NAOC Long course. Plus walking around the event center, stretching, etc. The start was really close, maybe 300-400 meters at most.
orienteering race 1:30:48 [4] *** 7.1 km (12:47 / km)
shoes: Jalas hi-top O' shoes
Similar terrain to the short distance race, but there was much more opportunity for trail running. Several legs with a good variety of route choices, including one 2 km plus "across the map" leg. Fun course.
