8 AM
run/hike 22:32 [3] 2.25 mi (10:01 / mi) +2ft 10:00 / mi
In Wilmington, NC. 5 on, 1 off. Nice morning, upper 60s, a little breezy, a little sun.
So does AP have some sort of AI operation going on, perhaps an AI that doesn't bode criticism? Today all it gives me is 2' of climb on a very gently rolling route that had someplace between 50 and 100, I'd guess.
I'm just curious how it can be so wacko. Is Kenny no longer in control? :-)

hike with Gail 1:19:54 [1] 4.13 mi (19:21 / mi) +234ft 18:22 / mi
Abandoned roads, pretty scruffy in places. But had the place to ourselves.
8 PM
Note
So what's going on with the AttackPoint method of calculating how much climb you do? On today's hike, it says we climbed 234 feet.
Here's the contour map of where we were --
Not a contour line to be seen. It certainly seemed dead flat to us, maybe 10' above sea level. And yet the graph of our speed and elevations has the elevation over 50' in lots of places.
Something is wacko.

Note
More critters, and finally some good-looking ones, including this fine Black Vulture --
And a large and presumably ancient alligator napping on a warm afternoon --
Though, as the next photo reveals, perhaps not napping at all, just waiting for us to get closer. We kept our distance.

Note
Not a lot of hills in this part of South Carolina.
11 AM
hike with Gail 1:16:49 [1] 4.0 mi (19:12 / mi) +10ft 19:10 / mi
Nice loop, though part of the third mile was really rooty. AP wanted to give us 308' of climb. I'd say 10' was more accurate. :-)
2 PM
biking - dark blue bike 1:05:13 [2] 15.09 mi (4:19 / mi) +50ft 4:18 / mi
Ride around Seabrook Island. Stopped at one point to try to get a selfie with 5 storks, but my technique needs improvement.

treadmill 20:58 [3] 2.0 mi (10:29 / mi)
4 on, 1 off. Miles in 10:42, 10:16.
Note
A fine little drama in the world of predator and prey. An osprey arrived over a little pond --
and started to hover while it checked out the scene below --
Even though it was after fish, the Coots and the Ring-necks panicked and circled the wagons in the separate groups --
The osprey was clearly on the verge of action --
and then it dove...
But it came up empty-handed. Circled around to have another try, but then seemed to lose interest and wandered off. So nothing to show for it, but it put on a good show.

11 AM
hike with Gail 1:26:15 [1] 4.43 mi (19:28 / mi) +515ft 17:32 / mi
Also with Mike and Vivian. In Hitchcock Woods, trails were mostly hard-packed sand, somewhat chopped up by lots of horse traffic, in which case we'd walk along the edges. More effort than on pavement for sure.
5 PM
run/hike 32:06 [3] 2.96 mi (10:51 / mi) +168ft 10:17 / mi
Using the last bit of daylight, rather dark when I finished. A tour of the front nine, mostly on the cart path, a little on the grass. 4 on, 1 off.

4 PM
biking - dark blue bike 49:07 [3] 11.39 mi (4:19 / mi) +963ft 4:00 / mi
From Mike and Vivian's in Aiken. Not a long outing but a (real) hard effort. Lots of short steep hills that had me gasping a number of times. Been a while since that had been the case. Late afternoon again, sunny, low 50s, not much traffic.
Saw only one other biker, in my rear-view mirror, well, actually just saw the shadow, well, actually was looking at my own shadow stretched way behind me as I headed up a rise directly into the sun. Once again confronted with my own mental decline. All you can do is laugh. :-)
