straight line distance with tons of OOB and obstacles, but park-like terrain or paths even in the white. Got back home with 8 minutes to spare before the 'Nova game.

I don't like running the day before a race, but had to re-arrange my friday schedule to catch the villanvova game. Nova basketball is the one thing that trumps O. The good news is it looks like we'll be able to hit the central park race and still be back in time for tomorrow's game.

Being heckled about a boring training log, perhaps I should write something to remove all doubt. Of course, I was passed over for the nomination of most boring in favor of eddie -- we all can't have pictures of Enceladus to post, but I can say I am probably the only AP'er to have a board game which features that previously obscure satellite (perhaps I should post its playing piece). Its good to see the Big Enchilada (as my family calls it) getting some much overdue positive press. (And it would be much cooler to believe that my primitive ancestry hails from that block of ice).
Now, about today's run. First, I should post what I think one of the coolest things about orienteering is here, rather than that other thread, since it is too weird, and I've already used up my quota in the weird thread (tho I was wondering if anyone would ask me to prove cos(i) ~= 1.54).
I like finding "serendipitous daffodils" while running thru the forest. Daffodils (and their kin) are amazing plants -- no wildlife will go near them, and once planted, they seem to live forever. Totally indestructible, even to my black thumb. Long after whatever residence they were planted by to decorate has been reclaimed by the forest, there they are, decade after decade. It is the coolest thing to come across this in the middle of a race.
But, for some reason, they occasionally stop blooming in these wild circumstances. There is a clump on Mt. Misery like this; the residence has probably been gone for at least 50 years. I have never seen them bloom in my 7 years of running this loop. But this year they are. That is so cool.
