running 5:00 [2]
A little bit of jogging to warm up.
orienteering 25:00 [4] ***
15c
The PTOC sprint series final race at SMP. The course was a bit long for a sprint - 4 km. Paul (I think) updated the map, adding some of the changes near the lake, mapping individual trees, and drawing in the mowed areas for the Frisbee golf course. Shifman set the course. Fun and tough work. The deep grass was a chore to run through.
Potluck afterward was nice. I made a chilled avocado soup that was a bit boring. I've made it before and managed the seasoning better.

Note
Dick N. and Mike S. also get some credit for map updating.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Biking to/from work. It was cool enough this morning that I wore a light jacket (if you saw someone in Lawrence who looked like an early 1990s Italian Orienteering Team member...that was me).
rowing 20:00 [2]
A bit on the land boat. Felt like a really chubby out of shape version of Martin Johansson.
I watched an episode of "Cops" while I rowed. I'm working on a police project and when I do that, I get interested in policing. Cops is interesting (even if not exactly true to life). Lesson from today's episode - do what you can to avoid dealing with Sheriff departments in Florida.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Work commute. Really nice weather. The ride in was nice. The ride home was ok, but there seemed to be a lot of strange drivers out there today.
orienteering 25:00 [2]
O' practice on the arboretum sprint map. I forgot to bring a magnifier, so I had a bit of trouble reading detail. Maybe that is good practice.
cycling 30:00 [2]
Biking to/from the arboretum.
On the way back a group of 5 serious-looking cyclists passed me. One of them read my shirt and said, "orienteering, cool." Funny how good it feels when someone seems to know something about the sport. I wonder if she'd ever orienteered. Maybe she just knows one of the local orienteering cyclists (or cycling orienteers).

cycling 45:00 [1]
Work commute. Home in the dark. It was a good test of the bike lights. I brought along my Tesla in case I needed it. I didn't. The new bike lights are fine...though the Tesla is spectacular.

cycling 1:15:00 [1]
Commuting to/from work. When I got home, Mary and I went out for a bit of a ride on the bike paths. Nice.
Tomorrow will be a long work day with a City Commission meeting - probably won't get in a run.

cycling 1:00:00 [2]
My legs felt sore (still) from yesterday's run.
I explored some potential mapping projects as a warm up. I think the area around Lied Center and the Dole Institute will be the next logical extension of my current map. I also checked out the campus housing east of the Daisy Hill dorms. Maybe a project for next year will be to map that part of campus.
After a good warm up, I did some cycling intervals. I don't think I've done that since the late 1980s. I did a loop of about 600 meters. I'd go hard for 300, then recover (slowly) over 300. have to say it felt good for the first two, tough the next two, and quite difficult the last one. I probably went too hard but it was fun to do something different for a change.

Note
I did a little bit of fieldchecking on the sprint map. I wish the leaves would fall and I could get to work on the wooded sections.
