Note
Bone weary day. Haven't shaken the torpor. Arose 0310, hurried off, made mistakes making me hurry more. Got to MHT only to wait. I can think how it could have been done had I really recalled. I've become rusty re airport-plane travel. Got moved to BWI vs Midway, then to Oakland. Always a treat out the window: hills, prairie, utmost aridity, later freshly snow-covered mountains. Finally emerald coastal mountains east of the Bay. A tiring day, 6.5 hrs to Oakland, endng up on a Orinda hillside where homes cling to steep slopes.

Orienteering 1:13:14 [2] 2.47 mi (29:39 / mi) +160m 24:41 / mi
Harris Center on a fine spring day - memorable with its joie de vivre feel. Made a course, walked-jogged accurately enough. Hard to keep map contact in the black stuff. Saw no one/nothing. I was sitting in a chair in the garden at the end and a older lady came by to chat. She was the garden curator & was both pleased and curious to see me in a chair, actually sitting in the still-too-early garden. She said she’s lived in Hancock for some 30 years. A nice place to live, I can see that.
Noted this scene - the folk song "Where have all the flowers gone?" seemed to be staring back.

Track 28:00 2.5 mi (11:12 / mi)
BHS track around 5p. Calm, pleasant. Past years, there surely would have been some snow in sight. Best I did was an 800 a bit over 8'/mi pace.
Got the HR up some.

Walking 25:00 [1] 1.0 mi (25:00 / mi)
Token entry. On the PL with Mocha. Not much energy today - stayed up late watching a movie, got up early for a 7am BLS course at work. Drove Beth to the airport for her flight to California. I'm just beginning to look forward to CA - haven't done much travel in the past 3 yrs. I don't yet have a USOC focus though. I suspect it will come at the last moment.

Weightexercise workout 55:00 [1]
Turned to pretty steady rain, mid 50s. Weights at the Y and made a point of working hard filling in the propane line trench dug last Nov., the soil gradually thawing and making it possible.
A record 77F in Concord yesterday. Previous high was 67 in 1978.

Nottingcook wander with O map. 74F today. T shirt & shorts. Nice time, some nice forest. Did note 2 swamps not indicated on map tho I've always noted them in the forest and one open marsh with only the yellow - odd since I've seen these so many times. Now to find the most recent map file... Watched the watch record about 6 splits with time & yet cannot find the damn things. And nothing under "recorded splits" when I try there. Not an issue with the 305 - never thought about it.

Orienteering 58:16 [2] 2.51 mi (23:13 / mi) +174m 19:06 / mi
Did a brown course at BB, thought it was a Boulder Dash 2013 but seems not - just found it in a stack of BB courses. Mid 50s, really fine time to be in the woods with maximum visibility. Slow but accurate - the more the contact, the better the outing. Took splits, don't know what happened to them, seems watch ignored them.
2 PM
Walk-jog 17:38 0.86 mi (20:30 / mi) +44m 17:42 / mi
Return to parking.
