Wonderful day in Launceston. Started with another trip to the outdoor gear shop, then ate our way thru the produce market (strawberries, cherries, juice, pastry, honey tasting, cheese tasting, pastry... Then stopped by the design center but didn't have enough time to make it worth the $5 fee, so just wandered around the shop, which held some amazing wood craft. Then to the sprint. Then to drown our sorrows, changed shirts and walked 2 blocks to the Red Brick Road cider bar for a cold one before showering. Finally emerged 3.5 hours later. Had fun talking with a couple historians incl an American ex-pat about accents, mining, retirement, relationships between American and Tasmanian history, transportation of convicts to American and tassie, orienteering...Out of the ordinary for us. Prob not good prep for a long hot race tomorrow.

orienteering race 30:07 **** 1.94 mi (15:31 / mi) +41ft 15:13 / mi
ahr:129 max:148 18c shoes: INOV8 X-talons
My worst sprint performance that I can remember. Complex buildings and covered walkways, which I love. But my brain was addled by the sun and heat. I walked around totally confused for a few minutes 2-3 times. I had to stand in the shade to gather my brains. I had trouble keeping track of where I was and where I was going - maybe wasn't thumbing? Of course, my lack of fitness didn't help. Did some walking while figuring out what was next. I did have good flow and generally knew which direction I was heading out of the control. I'm sure I ran across some olive green planted areas. Whoops. about 30 minutes. Finished 20 out of 27.

walking Launceston. then walking up to Cataract Gorge for the BBQ. Took the wrong trail, which took us to the top of the side of the gorge, then back to water level. All in the sun. Too hot.

Completely missed this date by leaving LAX at 11 pm and flying west across the date line. Our departure for Tassie was the least rushed departure I think we've ever made for a fly-away vacation. Of course, that's because Dan did the lion's share of the packing.
Reading others' logs, and some work emails, has inspired me to set some goals for 2015. I've never really done that before, or maybe just not really committed to them. Stay tuned for a week or so. In 2014, I did commit to making my job work for me until Feb 2015, when I reach 30 years at the same firm. In Feb 2015, I'd check back in and decide whether to re-commit or get out. I think I've done better than ever before at practicing the serenity prayer -- changing what I can, letting go of excess emotion about what I can't change.
