running 40:00 [2] ***
14c
I began with a couple of hours of field checking at the Riverfront. I'm using OOM on the Kindle tablet. I'm still not quite used to it. I think it's the way to go, but it'll take me some more practice to feel comfortable with it.
The running was a course I designed on the base map to get me to see a few things I was curious about. I ended up cutting the course short due to giant piles of river ice pushed up along one area I'd planned to run.
I was tired by the end.

Went out for a 40-minute headlamp jog on West Campus. But I got home sooner (39 minutes).
Nice evening - cool and clear.

I was thinking of going for a bit of a run, but I didn't sleep well last night and my motivation was suffering.

Work commute. Kind of a bummer to have to go back to work after having 4 days off. Oh well.
Dinner at Hank Charcuterie with Summer and Silas was good.

Jogging around a bit.
orienteering 45:00 [2] ***
14c
Jogged through a course at the Riverfront on a KP map.
We parked at the corner of N 1900 and E 1300. I'd never parked there because I didn't realise you had good access to the levee and park from there.
We ran in the area that was further south than where we ran yesterday and it is terrain I'm less familiar with. That was fun.
I have lots of memories of running in this area from the 1980s. Back then there was a hiking trails parallel the river. At some point, people stopped using it and it wasn't maintained. That's too bad as the area is nice. I remember running along the trails with Egil Iversen and Mikael Stern back in 1984. I like to think it was important training for Iversen for the coming year. I wonder what Iversen and Stern are up to.
I think I may do a little more work on the map and set up some sort of training. It is a neat area and very different than our typical terrain.

Easy jog around a 4.5 km course at the Riverfront. The riverfront is a map I made a few years ago. I also carried a KP map based on the 2015 lidar.
The temp was crazy. 67F (18C) while running. But, there was also a lot of ice in the forest. At one point, we had a 50 meter stretch of ice across the route. the ice was less than an inch thick, so you broke through with each step and were up to knee deep in ice cold water.
The lidar-based vegetation from the 2015 data was very good.
Fun.
