| A CSU training park-O put on by Ross at Peter's Hill in the Arnold Arboretum. The course, while navigationally straightforward, had substantial climb. I forgot my compass, but that didn't substantially impede me. I was pleased that I stayed in contact without the use of my compass.
On e-punch courses at A meets and most NEOC meets, I use my stopwatch to track my total time - usually to motivate/yell at myself for taking so long to approach control N. As a result, I have not extensively practiced recording splits; on this particular course, I took 9 of 13 splits (so they're pretty much all useless). I met Clem McGrath and his wife Daria; they apparently live very close to my apartment. I hope to glean some WOCesque skillz. | ||

| Travel to work. While hardly a workout, I'm logging it for data collection purposes - for later analysis. I suspect time dependence because of traffic (and perhaps heat); this run was from about 8:30 to 8:45. I spent about half the journey waiting at traffic lights. | ||

| A bike ride to Walden Pond with Lori. The temperature started at 94' F and diminished to about 86 F. We road predominantly on the scenic Minuteman Bikeway, though there was a fair amount of road riding. We also traversed an impressive number of hills of non-trivial size.
The lessons learned: - It's been too long since I've ridden my bike - I am not ready for such long journeys at present - My butt is not well conditioned for long periods of using a bike seat - My bike is more robust than I gave it credit - I need to bring an audiobook next time I go cycling for any length. I estimate our peak flat speed (e.g. on long stretches of the Minuteman Bikeway) was about 16-17 mph, based on mile marker measurements. We stopped a fair amount, including about an hour at Walden Pond; the total duration was 5 hours. Interesting sights on this trip included Jean Rife (a former music instructor of mine @mit.edu), an albino squirrel, spy pond, and innumerable cyclists of varying calibre. | ||
| Weight training 10 [4] | |
| Curling Lori exactly once. It was a bit of a strain; I wouldn't want to integrate this into my regular exercise regimen. | ||
