Bicycling 24:00 [3]
A good morning - managed to sleep in until 7:30; didn't dawdle in bed with phone because I had to bring maps & compasses to Morse School before school started, and I made myself some oatmeal with cooked apples, walnuts and yogurt, which I'm finding works well to last me until lunchtime. Biked to work, after figuring out how to pump up the tires on my bike (haven't used Presta valves before); it was like having new sneakers or something.

Orienteering 30:00 [2]
Hanging and picking up controls for Navigation Games event at Fresh Pond. We had kids from a few different schools. Fresh Pond is great for catching passers by, and we had a few of those, including Tomas and his parents who had been drawn into our "guerilla" events from last year. They asked after Isak; they think he's great. Discussions were had with Wendy, Pia, Ian about doing more of these park events aimed at kids & families, with NEOC. We'll have a meeting soon to discuss. Also Bud (NEOC Pres) is interested in this topic.
Sam's dad was going to reach out to her school this week to see if we could form a team for the remaining 3 events.
We got 3 new kids from CRLS, sophomores; one of them had done orienteering with me when in 5th grade at Morse school; that was the year we were able to take the class to the national meet put on by CSU at Franklin Park. Always good to see that efforts over the year pay off, even if everything still feels small.
I spent a total of at least 6 hours at Fresh Pond plus travel today, and Ethan and I spent a number of hours in preparation.
Ethan did most of the communication with the rangers; we will follow up with a thank you and report on the event to them.
There were many people who stopped by our table, or talked to us as we were picking up controls, asking what it was. Again, just having controls out there raises awareness. I think we should make signs for each control with explanation of what it is and how to participate.

Note
Ethan got his first thank-you card today. From the entire 8th grade class at a local middle school, for taking them all orienteering.
