Practice at Clinton. I pulled an old course, and decided to take it backwards. I walked today because I think I jumped into O too hard, too fast this season. Wanted a long slow day to start building a base.
Concentration was mixed. I had a busy morning, desperately trying to finish sewing some Christmas gifts. Then I had to chose between watching the Giants game or getting out in the warm (40s) weather. Unfortunately, that was an easy decision, with the way the Giants are playing. And I had to rush back to get ready for FIL and SMIL's Christmas party. So it took me a while to turn my brain to orienteering. Did OK, except for one leg where my mind wandered to "how to plan a birthday party for a 5 year old girl".
I had fun taking the culvert between 16 and 9. I hadn't been through there in years. It was easy to get through, but hard to get out. A big tree has blocked the end, and I had to crawl over some branches to get out.
This map is old, so the trails and vegetation are changed. I like the challenge of being flexible in reading the map.

Mike set a course at Rockcrusher, and hung some mini-markers a few weeks ago. Then he posted the course on Facebook, so anyone could do it any time they wanted. I went out today.
Wore my mittens which was a big help (in terms of keeping hands warm and mind on orienteering) but it was hard to carry my thumb compass.
I was trying to focus the whole time, but I made a mistake leaving 3, caught it quickly, and then proceeded to make another mistake. Duh! Minor mistakes, but still , this is easy orienteering....
Then, it turns out that I had accidentally stopped my GPS somewhere on the way to 3, so I guess I don't have to fess up here after all :)
After I finished the course, I went back out on the trails for another 20 minutes, to hit my target time for the week.

I think the best way to handle indoor exercise is to break it up. So I started with my sprint exercises, then I ran to and from the rec center, to use the recumbent bike. The weight room was the most crowded I have ever seen ( 6 people). Then back home to erg and watch a bit of the KU game. finished with a good bout of stretching.
