cycling 1:20:00 [1]
Bike ride on a warm day. I was a bit tired but glad I got out. It was tempting to take a nap instead.
We co-hosted an event at Fort Leavenworth today with Ft Lev Adventures. Fritz was the course setter for the main courses. I set the "cookie" course. Gene helped with start and control pick up. And, of course, Connie handled a lot of the stuff.
The cookie course is a short course (900 meters with 8 controls). The map is a sprint map at 1:2500. I planned the course so that it would be visible from the start/finish area, figuring that would be good for the younger kids. It seemed to work pretty well. The cookie prizes were well received.

running 45:00 [2]
I went out and shuffled around on West Campus. I felt ok, better the last 15 minutes than the first. Very pleasant conditions for running - light rain and 50F.

I figured my legs could use a day off, so I rolled around on my bike.

Note
A few notes about the weekend:
This was a lot of fun. The organizers did a great job. The terrain the first couple of days wasn't especially interesting, but it was still a blast.
I stepped on a rock or something on the first sprint and a spot on my left foot was uncomfortable all weekend. It wasn't too bad, but kind of annoying.
It was good to catch up a little bit with Frank. He flew his little airplane to the events. I was surprised he made it to the third day because I'd guessed the weather (lots of wind/rain/some snow) would have kept him on the ground. But he told me they made it with no problem and were able to fly around the bad weather.
I spotted Tom be-the-map, but never got a chance to talk to him. I wanted to.
This was "Nationals." That seems like a strange name for an event, but whatever.
I was chatting with someone about how lots of people gripe about formats (SML, two day, relays, 2 sprints, etc). I wish more people lust liked orienteering and didn't stress about formats.
The southern Michigan terrain is really nice. I hope they host some more events in the near future.
We had a nice visit in South Bend. The N.D. art museum had some interesting stuff. The Meso-American collection seemed quite good. They had a good exhibit of contemporary artists of African descent and a video exhibit by Alana Olsen: http://zweifelundzweifel.org/
We also had a good meal at a place called Chicory Cafe.

orienteering race 1:18:24 [4]
Super interesting terrain and a fun course. I slogged around as best I could. I had one rough leg where my mind wandered and I lost contact and didn't react very well. That probably cost a good 2 minutes.
Early in my course I was running together with Cristina. That was fun. We were slogging along at a similar pace. At one point I was behind Cristina in her Nydalens SK (or is it OK?) suit and thought, "hey, this is just like watching one of Anders Nordberg's headcam videos." Then I realized I'd better look at the map.
