To/from the overlook by bike. I added some new streets as part of my biking project.

Running to check out a few places on the overlook map. I'll need to make a few corrections/changes for the meet next weekend.

Work commute.

Row, row.

My right foot felt a little bit strange today. No run.

Work commute.

Instead of exercising after work I did some fieldchecking around Daisy Hill.

I drove to work and then ran on the river trails after work. I have this idea that I'm going to try to do that 3-4 times a month during the summer.

Some interesting O' news from an OK perspective.

Sanna is on going to represent Sweden at the MTB O' World Cup in Poland (and, in case you didn't know, Magnus is the national team leader for MTB O').

Henrik Gothberg made a really slick video of the European Orienteering Champs - definitely worth a look:

Work commute (including adding a little bit to my project).

I also biked to/from the grocery store.

Trail run at Clinton. I set my Garmin to beep using the interval timer (5 minutes/0.33 km) and each time it beeped I stopped for a few seconds, looked around, figured out what the map might look like, then checked the map. It was a way to work a little bit of orienteering practice into a trail run. I made a point of getting in a few extra hills.

Yesterday's sprint race with the GoPro on the chest mount and with the video stabilized using Youtube. Oh, and some music from Youtube for the first 5 or 6 minutes.

I think the chest mount and the stabilizing worked pretty well. It is different from a headcam view.

Around 9:21 in the video I scare a little girl who is looking at the SI unit in the playground. As I approached, I said something like "Hi, there" but she didn't hear me or didn't react very quickly and it seems like I scared her a bit. Sorry about that.

PTOC sprint at Antioch Park. The park is small, but nice for a park sprint. There are enough things going on to keep it interesting and the park has a lot of shade (especially nice on a warm sunny day like today).

My run was not too terrible. I didn't seem to ever feel like I was sharp. I had some extra stops in the little wooded area with trails where the map didn't fit what I'd expected. I think it was my lack of a good picture of what was coming as opposed to a problem with the map.

Jogging around to warm up.
