biking - dark blue bike 43:34 10.29 mi (4:14 / mi) +136ft 4:11 / mi
ahr:126 max:151
Back home mid-afternoon, just enough time for a Valerie (10 miles, certainly no less, preferably very little more), finished right at sunset. A little ways north along the west side of the river but stopping just before the hills. Upper 20s, sunny, very little wind.
9 PM
Note
Really nice trip south. Three days to drive to Atlanta to visit Gail's relatives with enough time each day for a ride. About 5 days there, very enjoyable. Then about a week over towards the coast, a rainy start but then fabulous weather, 60s and sunny. Then back north with visits to a lifelong friend of Gail's, and orienteering friends Kissy, Valerie, Boris and Alli (and Inara and Barney), and Sandy. All a great pleasure.
Interesting group, the O' friends. All are getting on a bit (well, nowhere close to me, but still...), even Boris, first remember him at WOC93, helping me peddle as many copies of the relay maps as possible and he was real good at it. Though of course Alli gets a pass, so I guess it's was only 4 semi-geezers.
But think about their contributions to the sport.
Kissy's latest is a couple of years as president of the federation. Valerie has been taking care of meet administration and timing and results forever. Boris and Alli do the monthly OUSA newsletter. And Sandy stepped up to handle all the federation's administrative stuff a while back, plus had directed a zillion events including the 2014 North Americans.
I've heard it said that there are too many "old" people in the sport. Seems like there aren't enough.
Of course, there aren't enough young people either.
