Very vague features at the start and difficulty understanding the mapping criteria for rocks. I may have to give myself a transparent background for these maps for a little while. Very low visibility (15-20m) and lots of spiders. I was hoping the spiders had decided the season was over for web building, but they apparently had not. Vegetation very similar to Estonia.

Maps do not have white background so that course review makes more sense.

Part 1:


Part 2:

Morning run with Viol along the Charles. We went out to run 30 and continued on for 55 minutes.

100 pushups, 20xpedestal, 5 minute calf raise, 5 minute plank.

Alex gave Juanma, Violeta, Vilppu, and myself a red course in Prospect Park. Pretty sweet little park. My compass kept acting funny for the first half of the course. Initially I assumed I was rushing too much and not taking good bearings, but on the way out of #10 I saw it do a 180, and then another 180. After that I stashed it in my pocket and continued on. I don't like orienteering without a compass, but something was strange about it last night. Really enjoyed getting back to forests like these.

The plan was to do a 20k corridor through Casa de Campo for my last day here, but after about 15k, I ran into Luis who was in the middle of the woods.

So what do you do when you run into one of your best friends who happens to be in your 40 meter-wide corridor at the same exact time you are in the middle of the woods on your last night in Madrid? Well, you say forget the corridor and go with him.

Surprisingly tired, a good way to enjoy the park despite the sketchy mapping in a few parts.

Easy through CDC. Legs are still pretty tired.
