| OCIN "Freezer O'" meet at Miami Univ Natural Areas, course set by Bill Swift. I felt like I was able to run hard the whole way, other than fighting thru the thick stuff. |
| walking 3:00:00 [1]* 4.0 mi (45:00 / mi) | |

| setting controls for sprints & midnight orienteering event. This was mostly in the dark, but it was a beautiful night... temp was in the fifties and pleasant, there was moonlight & skyglow & I hardly bothered with using my headlight. Actually spent closer to 4 hours in the woods... distance is a very rough & very conservative guess. |

| cool-down walk after test run. Included re-running one short leg by a different route for comparison. And, as I got in my van and left the parking lot, WOW did I feel AOWN! I stopped to watch a rough legged hawk on the grass, just off the road. He seemed pretty unphased that I stopped the van just 5 meters or so from him & watched him for a couple minutes. He kept hopping/scratching in the grass on what looked like a mole tunnel. Finally flew off when another car pulled up & tried to go around. Wish I'd had a camera with me... would have made a fantastic shot. |
