Shoveling the walk and driveway.
running 25:00 [2]
Short jog on West Campus. I ran without a headlamp because it was early enough that there was still some dim light and the snow on the ground made it easier to see things.

O' training just east of Rockhaven on the in-progress map. Fun and tough course with lots of climb. Until the last bit, there weren't really any places where you could just move easily through nice easy terrain. It wasn't so much that the terrain was junky, just always enough that you felt like it was work.
When I was done I grabbed my map board, put on some warm clothes and did 30 minutes of fieldchecking until Mary was done.

Mary and I went out to Clinton and ran a course on a map that is a mix of lidar contours, trails and a few added features. The course was fun.
The video is with the chestmount of the GoPro and stabilized by youtube.

Kartlek at Rockcrusher. I set a course with 13 legs and ran it. The control locations were very simple. I did a bit of extra climbing and spent a bit of the time running in the woods. Nice day and fun.

I test ran Gene's red course at Rockhaven. It was fun and really nice to be out in just a little bit of snow.
I took one hard "fa."
I saw Gene out checking points and we stopped and talked a bit.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Work commute. I pushed the effort on the way home.
Lots of crazy drivers in town for tonight's basketball game. I saw:
1. Running a red light on Mass.
2. Pedestrian waiting at cross walk near campus with no traffic, then stepping out when a car was coming (pedestrian on phone the entire time)
3. Car with right-of-way coming to dead stop in the intersection.
4. Car stopping in middle of road and driving starting to talk on phone.
5. Running a red light on Clinton Parkway.
It is a good reminder that it can be dangerous out there.

MTB cycling 1:00:00 [1]
Night ride on the river trail. It has been a while since I've ridden the MTB and I felt rusty for the fist 10-15 minutes. It was a very nice evening to be out - temp around 40, clear sky, no wind.

An hour of "kartlek" at Clinton Rockhaven. I stopped a few times to add a few things to the map. Gene's setting courses for our Jan 1 event on the map and it is very much a "work in progress."

PTOC local red course at Watkins Mill. Not a great day for me. I boomed 2. I took a reasonably hard fall at 3. I couldn't find 4. After 4, I eased off the effort and did my best to enjoy the rest of the course.

Some control pick up time. I went to 4 to pick up the marker and found it a bit south of the correct location. Some people took a bit different route and found it without trouble.
I will have to recommend this terrain to Mikell Platt. He seems to think Burr Oak Woods has some thorns and thick forest.

A driver cut me off at 8th and N.H. on the way to work. I think they just didn't see me.

Work commute. It was cold on the way to the office. Actually, it wasn't exceptionally cold (maybe 17F), but it felt especially cold becuase of the wind. When it is below 20, I usually wear boots that are windproof. I didn't do that today. My feet were cold at the office and took a long time to warm up. It didn't help that my office was 64F when I arrived and didn't warm up until the afternoon.
I expected to feel tired from yesterday's run, but my legs didn't feel tired. Maybe I took it too easy yesterday.

Testing some legs and looking at some stuff at SMP.
I hit my hand on a stick or something. It is uncomfortable. I don't think it did any actual damage, but it feels worse afterwards than it did before.

2 x 25 minutes of running around while putting out and retrieving controls at Woodridge. It was foggy when I was putting out controls, which was really nice to look at. I took a couple of snapshots:

I bumped my hand/finger on the door when I was putting some markers back in my car. It hurt and the finger is not very comfortable right now. Time for some ice.

Note
My finger feels a lot more comfortable today. On Sunday I fell and seem to have dislocated the finger. After I fell, I looked at my finger and it was pointing in an unnatural direction. But it popped back in place easily. It was uncomfortable on Sunday and then got a stiff and swollen yesterday. Movement was uncomfortable and when my bike hit a bump my hand would hurt. Today was much better. There's still some swelling and discomfort. I can bend my finger a bit - maybe 40 percent of the normal range of motion.

Mass start ultra long. Smashed a finger. Glasses and magnifier fogged. Attitude nOt very good. DNFd.
running 1:15:00 [2]
After DNFing I decided to take advantage of being on a map and explored a bit. I found a few controls and ran a couple of legs before making my way back. I might call this kartlek.
