| Planning for a big meet next fall. Cat's aganda is really one of the nicest places around to plan an orienteering meet. It has soooo many depressions that you better not lose contact when moving fast. The visibility was awesome. |

| I was rushed in a long drive to the race. I felt ok and even though it was windy and 50 degress, I was over dressed. A couple of fossil teammates passed me up I ended up gettin them and nipping one in the last 20 meters. Overall not to bad and now the mad rush to get to an orienteering meet. total drive miles was 210 for the day. |

| It took me the first 2 controls to get moving. Not very direct compass bearing but good enough. We have some controls on low alum poles that make the control hard to see unless you are on top of it. I tried to avoid the barrberry as much as possible as it seems to be all over the map.
This was supposed to be an updated map, but there did not seem to be any new registrations, or new field work and some new trails as usual. I will have to compare this map to an older version to see new field work done. |

| Finally ran today. I met Steve Wikner and we did a tempo run after 1 mile warmup. It was 10 minutes out and 10 minutes back on a limestone trail. I am guessing 2.8 miles. Its been a long time since I ran and i felt it. I did not make it to my usual spot on the trail... but I came back 7 seconds faster and 10 beats Heartrate faster avg for the 2nd half. I had to take a whirlpool after cause I was so sore. I need at least 2 more days running for Sunday's 10K. |

| Day 1 Hilly Hundred outside of Bloomington,IN.. This area is an awesome area for biking, lots of up and down. Decent road surface and lots of big renentrants and valleys. Having a triple crank is a must. More shifting done than you can shake a stick at. Too much food and drink at the cabin the night before. |

| Ride from the land with Tony, Gray and Phil. Phil had never ridden his bike from the land so I plotted out a course that should get us 40 + miles. We rode through Yellowood St. Forest whre years agoClark and I ran around in a Rogaine. I always thought the area would make great O but not yet. This area was as cool as I remember, and needs more time to explore and discover. |

| My first Indiana ride from Phils land. He owns a sweet 110 acres surrunded by Yellowood State Forest. I camped at the creekside in the middle of some huge rentrants, and the colors of the leaves were peaking.
I just started getting a feeling of the hills around there. NICE |

| Orienteering Meet race (Rogaine) 11:50:00 [4] *** 48 km (14:48 / km) | |
| spiked:41/42c |
| Lewis & Clark 12 Hour Rogaine. "The Return of The Cup" We did it!!!!!!!!!!
In my first quick measurment I had 37.5K straight line distance covered and actual 48 K .
After 2 years ago of the most bobbled up trip, we came prepared and rested. The temps were going to be 86 degrees for a high (ouch) and this was a big factor for Joe. He came through, and we both got beat up, but we finished strongly but tired. We are Ying and Yang. When one yings the other yangs. Our navagation was damn near perfect.
The undergrowth was mostly this bothersome low level thorney stuff that really is not that bad, but it is all over. Early on you could plow through it, later on it wanted to grab you and hang on. Just some minor sctatches on legs and arms. These were some of the most gorgous woods with some colors changing similar to Ozark type woods.
After ward we went ot downtown Louisville to 4th st crazyness and celebrated with our Mint Jeluip Cups drinking Margiritas and eating at the Hard rock Cafe (only place still serving food at Midnight).
It was awesome trip, and great to have Joe as my rogaine partner.
next year more long distance hiking for training
