Walk/Hiking/Snowshoe (birding) 1:20:00 [1] 1.8 mi (44:27 / mi)
BIrded my usual Village loop before breakfast. Not much for birds (apparently migration has been exceedingly slow in the northeast the past few days. Eight days of clear skies caused by a persistent omega loop in the jet stream is not helping the birds northward. SO best "bird" was a short-tailed shrew scurrying furiously around somebody's front lawn.
Walk/Hiking/Snowshoe 20:00 [0] 0.8 mi (25:01 / mi)
Birch Bend with Suzanne after breakfast. She is improving slowly.
Orienteering 48:00 [3] 3.5 km (13:43 / km) +120m 11:42 / km
13 control, 2.9 km course on my Tin Mountain map (which may or may not some day be used for an O event). First 6 at 1:5000, rest at 1:10000. The woods are pretty thick and slow and I was off trail much of the time - ticks, black flies, a mouthful of cobweb and beech bud scales, shin scrapes, torn shorts, and a bloody area on left arm - made for fine O run. Started straight from 8 to 10, then wandered way left on a long leg from 10 to 11 - not promising for this weekend. No problem with coughing or breathing so I guess this weekend is a go.
