Home to Greenbelt and back by way of REI and food shopping at Takoma Park Silver Spring Co-op.
Orienteering1:01:46 [4] 8.5 km (7:16 / km) +245m6:21 / km
Greenbelt Motala Blue - Nadim set two similar loops around the northern half of the park with pairs of orienteers of similar ability starting together and doing the loops in the opposite order one from the other. Fun. Ran hard and well through a great deal of nasty stuff, some of which I should have avoided by running on a road like Eddie did. Overran a vague attack point for one control and had to relocate on the trail forty or fifty meters past it.
Total of all my running in Ottawa in the morning and a food shopping expedition after returning to DC.
Speed skating30:12 [3]
Last canal round trip of the visit. Jumped off the ice at the downtown end and got a couple of Canadian standard passport photos taken, the better to ensure I can actually go to my planned/hoped for international events this year.
I have so not been doing triathlons since I moved to DC let along got serious about orienteering - apparently this is the first time I've logged swimming since I registered on AttackPoint. Mixture of crawl, breast stroke, flutter kick with a board and just playing in the water. Distance not certified as precise.
Running40:00 [3]
Running around foraging for cookies and sultana raisins that aren't too dried and tough to be worth bringing back to DC.
