Walked (and a very little easy jogging) with Caleb out to visit a control that gave him trouble during his race at Possum Creek.

Although the cold seems pretty well gone, I didn't think that it would be in my best interest to run a course today, otherwise, I'd have loved to try my hand at the "purple".

Visited eye doctor. Eye 100% healed, no problems. Yea! Cold is still lingering, so no hard exercise today. Did a few minutes of stretching exercises to relieve boredom while waiting for the eye doctor to come into the examining room.

Planned to check a few more controls at Miami Whitewater after the eye doctor visit, but the serpentine belt of my car had other ideas, taking out the power steering reservoir along with it when it decided to come apart. Did manage to drive it home and thence to auto shop; I suppose I could count steering without power assist as some sort of upper body workout! :-)

checking control sites at Miami Whitewater, very easy pace. Cold is still lingering, so didn't want to push my luck by doing any running or real exertion.

Miami Whitewater. Some very significant changes and additions to a horse trail. got some of them but will need more time to complete them all. a few other very minor updates.

Bad cold and cough. Had some sniffles over the weekend and thought it was getting better on Sun but I think the combination of being out all day in that bitter cold plus running to pick up controks lowered my resistance and gave it a new foothold.

Had the UCMS kids do a course on the school grounds. Each kid had to set two controls, then went to the controls set by the other kids.

When everyone was back and refreshed, then we did a search-and-destroy for control pickup. Dylan won that with three controls, but Alex persisted and came in with two.

Only four today: Dylan, Alex, Jamie and Nathan.

Event: OCIN / TROL #8 Veteran's Park / Diamond Oaks
 

Putting out the final 3 controls for the Diamond Oaks meet. Temperatures in the low 20s F, and a wind blowing through the shelter made it feel much colder.

Saw a flock if over 30 wild turkey on my way to the park.

Jogged out to replace a malfunctioning control unit. Chief Moyer came along to see some of the course.

Showing Chief Moyer a little more of the course and also a hole cut in the boundary fence.

Control pickup at Diamond Oaks.

Searching for a control unit dropped by an undisclosed party during pickup. Found it.
