ahr:169 max:182 20c
Pogorzel, just past Otwock.

Lovely weather, nice runnableforest but not technical enough... most of it was point and run... wiht or without a compass...

made acouple of mistakes due to running too fast.
There were controls out there but it was untimed (which happily meant no ounchcard punching!!)...
Garmin distance: 10.75km
forest run warm up/down 5:00 [1]
warm down,
saw lots of butterflies bright yellow/green, very nice! Didn't notice any while orienteering...

Note
One of those days that make me wonder why I train and why I do maths... tired going to the gym and didn't enjoy it, not much more to be said about that.

But this morning, listened to a nice talk for an hour and a half... but half the talk was devoted to proving a lemma that i could prove in five minutes (and even prove something stronger). So I figured this would mean a nice easy paper which could interest a few people, because it seemed like the result wasn't known. However, it turns out it follows immediately from known proofs, and a co-author of the co-author (from Warsaw) of the speaker was one of the authors of the known proof, another mathematician from Warsaw another... so if the co-author hadjust asked around a bit then all this time wouldn't have been wasted. Then I looked up the paper with the known result and a couple of other papers citing and being cited by this paper... all with a common author... and this author (with over 120 articles) like scut-and-paste, so I was seeing the same things over and over again as my life was sapping away... aaaaaagggghhhh almost as much time wasted as is wasted by reading this post. Sometimes I wonder what the point is with all these polish mathematicians who won't talk to each other...

happily there's orienteering tomorrow
