PTOC night score event at Prairie Center. The forest was junky. The stream was high. On my way from 2-17 (the first two controls I took), I learned both of those lessons.

Small turnout, but a really nice night to be out.

Jogging to warm up.

Work commute. My legs felt a little tired in the morning and I took a route via LHS rather than over the hill. Kind of lazy.

Row, row.

Hill intervals 4 x 1 km on Ulrik's Hill. Tough for me but fun. We had a really good turnout of 10 runners.

Ulrik's Hill begins with a flat bit, then has a long gradual climb and ends with a flat bit. Here are a couple of the runners:

If you think that second video looks like Nadim, well you're right. He was so excited to run Ulrik's Hill that he flew to Kansas City and drove to Lawrence just for the training.

Work commute. Yesterday was warm. Today wasn't. Yesterday was dry. Today wasn't.

Row, row.

Work commute. Warm enough in the morning that I rode without any jacket.

On the MTB,

MTBO course on West Campus. I took the course I did last week and used the same control locations but went to the even controls and then the odd controls (i.e. 2-4-6-8-10-12-1-3-5-7-9-11). I took a few unusual routes. I climbed Ulrik's Hill twice.

Work commute. Otherwise I'm doing nothing today. My legs got tired yesterday.

Browsing the web while also watching bike racing on TV and looking at this map from a race in Sweden:

I guess it looks fun.

The F21 results are worth a look (results are linked from the map above).

Trail run on the Perry bike trails. I carried a contour only map (with 1.25 meter contours) and planned to run the trails and read the contours. But I changed my mind and decided to run the north trails - an area not shown on the current contour map.

I think the last time I headed north was a run with Magnus, Sanna, Gene and Mark M. That was a long time ago. The trail network is longer than it was back then. Some of it would be really fun on a MTB. But some of it would be scary and rocky.

I got tired.

An interesting way to get feedback after an orienteering event:
